πŸ“š Quick Study Guide

  • 🍎 Friction: πŸ–οΈ Friction is a force that opposes motion when two surfaces rub against each other. It's why a toy car eventually stops rolling on the carpet.
  • πŸ’¨ Air Resistance: πŸƒ Air resistance is a type of friction caused by air. When you ride a bike, the air pushing against you slows you down.
  • ⬇️ Gravity: 🌍 Gravity is the force that pulls everything towards the Earth. It's why things fall down and why a ball thrown in the air eventually comes back down.
  • βœ‹ Applied Force: πŸ’ͺ A force that a person or object applies to another object. Like pushing a swing or stopping a rolling ball with your hand.
