/.Newton's First Law - Answer-An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion
stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an
unbalanced force.
/.Interia - Answer-The tendency of an object to resist a change in motion
/.action force - Answer-the initial push or pull of one object on another object

/.kinetic friction - Answer-Friction between moving surfaces
/.static friction - Answer-Friction that acts on objects that are not moving
/.for solid objects - Answer-speed does not affect calculation of force,
what does affect it: types of surface involved and how hard the surfaced press on each
other
