Get a better understanding of Newton's First Law of Motion, gravity, normal force and friction with this physics course. This free online physics course will give you in-depth knowledge of the force of gravity and its counterpart, normal force. By the end, you will have learnt why some objects do not move even when they are on a slope and will understand the effects different forces have on objects. Did you know that when you try to move a heavy object, it takes more effort to get it moving than to keep it moving? Learn why this is by enrolling for free today.
