Describe what would happen if, while wearing rollerskates, you pushed as hard as you could against a wall. Why does this happen?

Answer:

If, while wearing rollerskates, a person pushed against a wall as hard as he or she could, the force of the push would be opposed by the force of the wall pushing back against the pusher. Because the wall is solid and grounded, and the pusher is wearing roller skates, the pusher would end up rolling in the direction opposite to the force of the push.

Describe the four main types of resistance forces.

Answer:

The four main resistance forces are objects with mass, inertia, and momentum; friction; gravity; and air resistance. Objects with mass are able to provide resistance by colliding with other objects. Friction slows objects down by providing a steady resistance when the objects are in contact with and rubbing against a surface. Gravity provides a steady downward pull towards the center of Earth's mass. Air resistance is the cumulative force provided by millions of oxygen atoms being displaced.
