Free Body Diagram

Whenever an object is moving, there is always this force opposing the motion:

• inertia

• momentum

• friction

• applied force

The force that keeps objects on top of surfaces instead of letting them sink into the surface is known as:

• normal

• abnormal

• static

• inertia
