Force is a term used in dynamics, and it applies to astronomy as well as to the way objects move around on Earth. When you push something you are exerting a physical force on it, in technical language. Force exerted on an object causes it to accelerate, if it is free to move.

Newton's second law says that force equals mass times acceleration and this leads to the definition of units of force. The SI unit of force is the Newton and a 1 Newton force acting on a 1 kg mass produces an acceleration of 1 metre/second per second.

When an object is dropped, the force of gravity accelerates it, and we know by experiment that a falling object accelerates at 9.8 metre per second per second, so the force of gravity acting on a 1 kg mass is 9.8 Newtons. In other words that is its weight.

What is meant by rectangular components of a force?

For simplicity consider a force whose direction does not correspond to either the x- or y-axis. At the head of the force (where the arrow is) draw a vertical line to the horizontal axis and a horizontal line to the vertical axis. The force is now enclosed by the lines you have drawn and the axes and this enclosure is a rectangle. Since a rectangle is also a parallelogram this means that you have also resolved the given vector into two components, namely, the one given by the portion of the horizontal axis between the origin and where your vertical line meets that axis, and the one given by the portion of the vertical axis between the origin and where your horizontal line meets that axis. These two vectors are the rectangular components of the given force.

Is a crockadial a composer?

It seems there might be a typo in your question. If you meant "crocodile," then no, a crocodile is not a composer; it is a reptile. However, if you meant "Crockadial," I am not familiar with that term or name in the context of a composer. Please clarify if you meant something else!

What is tangentically force?

It seems there may be a misunderstanding or typo in the term "tangentically force." If you meant "tangential force," it is a force that acts perpendicular to the direction of an object's motion, causing it to change direction without affecting its speed. Let me know if you meant something different.
