Q1: Give some examples of what a force can do.

[Answer]

A force is something that gets an object moving or, if it is already moving, changes its speed and direction.

Here are some examples: when you push a drawing pin into a board, you are forcing it in. When you pull open a door, the pull is a force.

There are many other kinds of force, too. Magnetism is a force and so is electricity.
