Forces - driving forces and resisting forces

5 important questions on Forces - driving forces and resisting forces

What are resisting forces?

A force that resists a motion and acts against that motion

Which kinds of resistance forces are there?

Air resistance, sliding resistance/friction, rolling resistance

What is air resistance?

Resistance that arises because a movie object has to push the ar=ir in front of it aside

What is rolling resistance?

Resistance that arises when a rolling object and ground both become deformed during the motion

What is Newton's first law?

If the resultant of all the forces is zero (0 N), the object is either stationary of it moves along a straight line at a constant speed
