Is force just acting energy?
No, that's power. Force is the rate of change of momentum.kashiark said:So force is just the rate of change of energy?

True. I assumed with respect to time.Nabeshin said:Note that "rate of change" by itself doesn't mean anything.

Energy is a measure of the ability to do work. It is a property of objects and systems that allows them to change or cause change in other objects or systems.
Force is a push or pull on an object that can cause it to accelerate or change direction. It is directly related to the mass and acceleration of an object according to Newton's second law of motion.
Energy and force are related in that force is required to transfer or convert energy from one form to another. For example, when a force is applied to an object, work is done, and energy is transferred to the object.
Yes, both energy and force can be measured. Energy is typically measured in joules (J) or calories (cal), while force is measured in newtons (N).
Some examples of energy include kinetic energy (energy of motion), potential energy (stored energy), thermal energy (heat), and electromagnetic energy (light). Examples of force include gravity, friction, and applied forces like pushing or pulling an object.
