By directly seeing the force.

By measuring the force's energy.

By analyzing the force's color.

By observing its effect on objects. (correct)

$F = kx$, where $F$ is the force, $k$ is the spring constant, and $x$ is the displacement.

$F = \frac{mv^2}{r}$, where $F$ is the force, $m$ is the mass, $v$ is the velocity, and $r$ is the radius.

$F = m/v$, where $F$ is the force, $m$ is the mass, and $v$ is the velocity.

$F = ma$, where $F$ is the force, $m$ is the mass, and $a$ is the acceleration. (correct)
