What is a wheel?
100
Any external effort that causes an object to change its movement, direction, or shape.
What is force?
100
The speed of your car increases as this decreases
What is weight?
100
An Object in motion tends to stay in motion
F=ma. The relationship between an objects mass(m) its acceleration(a), and the applied force.
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
