Friction acts

• in the same direction as motion
• only on objects that are not in motion
• in the opposite direction of motion
•  only on objects that are in fluids

The amount of gravity between two objects depends on their masses and the

• distance between them
• friction between them
• total velocity of the objects
• net force of the objects

Newton's Third Law of Motion says that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that

• forces do not act on moving objects
• forces only act on moving objects
• forces come in action-reaction pairs
• forces act only in the opposite direction of motion
