Best Answer

Net Force

Hold a book in your hand. The force of gravity is pulling the book downwards, while the muscles in your arm force the book upwards. Although there clearly are forces acting upon the book, it does not accelerate in any direction. This is because the 'net force' on the book is zero: the force of gravity on the book is negated by the force of your arm.

Net force is the total resultant of the overall forces acting on an object. E.g. 6N forward, 4N back, net force is 2N forward.

Force is the amount of pressure one object exerts on another.

Force is very different to a field. A field is the amount of space a force can reach to.
