Sample question:p qThese ice boats sail across the ice at great speeds. What gets the boats moving in the first place? What keeps them from going even faster?even faster?
Slide 4-1
What Causes Motion?
In the absence of any forces acting on it, an object will continue moving forever. Motion needs no “cause.”
Slide 4-8
What Is a Force?
A forceA force...
... is a push or pull. ... acts on an object
... requires an agentobject. agent.
... is a vector. ... is a contact force or a long-range force.
