The heavier the object...

• the prettier it looks

• the MORE force is needed to move it.

• LESS force is needed to move it.

What is the law of inertia?

• If an object is heavy, you will never be able to lift it.

• Shapes will change the way they look if you ask them nicely

• An object will not change its state of motion unless a force acts on it.
