__Central Idea; __ Human beings are subject to many forces during their daily lives, and the interactions between objects in the physical world are governed by these.

- the application of forces for the benefit of humans in their everyday lives - the everyday physical phenomena such as movement and forces - the effects of forces on the motion of objects
