πŸ“š Quick Study Guide

    πŸ” Forces are pushes or pulls. A push moves something away from you, and a pull moves something towards you. πŸ’‘ Forces can make things start moving, stop moving, speed up, slow down, or change direction. πŸ“ We measure forces in Newtons (N). 🍎 Gravity is a pulling force that attracts objects towards each other. πŸ‹οΈβ€β™€οΈ Friction is a force that opposes motion when two surfaces rub against each other. βš™οΈ Applied force is simply force that is applied to an object by a person or another object. ⚑️ The net force is the overall force acting on an object. If the forces are balanced (equal and opposite), there is no change in motion.
