Force
Which force is responsible for pulling objects towards the center of the Earth?
Gravity
What does Newton's first law of motion state about an object in motion?

Friction
What refers to the movement of an object from one place to another?
Motion
Study Notes
- Force is defined as a push or pull that can cause an object to move or change direction, demonstrated by actions like opening and closing a door.
- Motion refers to the movement of an object from one place to another, illustrated by rolling a ball across the floor.
- Gravity is the force that pulls objects towards the center of the Earth, demonstrated by dropping objects of different weights from a height to observe how they fall.
- Friction is the force that opposes motion when two surfaces rub against each other, exemplified by rubbing hands together to feel the heat generated by friction.
- Newton's first law of motion states that an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force, and the amount of force needed to move an object depends on its mass.
