Force is any interaction with any object that will, in some way change the motion of an object. That means that if an object is in place and not moving it will stay that way until it is acted upon by an external force, causing it to move. Same goes for if an object is already in motion. It will stay that way until acted upon causing it to change course or slow down, speed up, or change it's motion in any way. If multiple, opposing forces, are present then you subtract the lesser force from the greater to get the net force.
S&EP:
To demonstrate this concept as a model, we used a few of the simulations from the link under the image above, including the one portrayed in the image.

XCC:
If everything is stable, there is 0 net force nothing will ever change until one force becomes greater than the rest or another force is applied (stability and change).
