Christa Abasola Smith's Perspective on Intro to Physics
Objects move in our environment with the aid of gravity. For example, in space since there is no gravity, objects can move freely without being yielded by the force of gravity. Its different here on earth, we have gravity over here and that force has ultimate control over whether an object should move or be stationary. We use stationary objects as a reference to tell when an object has moved besides actually witnessing the motion of a movement. As for why some objects move faster than others and vice versa, why do some objects move slower than others; I believe that the faster moving objects, have less weight and or are smaller, this allows them to move faster and as for slower moving objects because they have more weight and or are larger this hinders them from moving fast. This weight rule, in my mind, still applies to whether an object will be stationary or will move horizontally or vertically, the heavier an object is the chance of it staying put increases, I think this is a result of it's heavier weight hindering it from being able to move. I think weight play a big factor in the motion an object may be in but I think there is a bigger factor than this that plays a much more significant role than just weight but I can't really put my finger on it. There is a bigger picture to the science behind this and i'll admit that I don't really know all too much on the matter besides the minor factor of the weight and mass of the object.
