Equilibrium is maintained by

• restoring forces

• full forces

• gravity

• pendulums

Restoring force is any force that always acts to _______ the system back toward equilibrium

• pull

• push

• press

• pray

What is Newton's First law?

• Law of Inertia

• Law of Gravity

• Law of Cosines

• Law of Sines

Forces always point

• toward the equilibrium

• in the direction of motion

• the same direction as force

Velocity always points

• toward the equilibrium

• in the direction of motion

• the same direction as force
