• air resistance

• upthrust

• gravity

• push

What is the first law of motion?

• Objects continue doing what they are doing unless other forces speed them up or slow them down.

• Whenever an object pushes another object it gets pushed back in the opposite direction equally hard.

• Heavier objects need more force to move them.

• F = ma
