How Objects Move
Different objects move in different ways. But all the objects end up moving all because of the same reason: force and energy. Objects can move any direction the source of energy or the force pushes it to. An example of a force is a pebble is sitting on a sea shore. There are currently high waves crashing down onto the pebble, picking it up, and dropping it in a different place. The pebble is not moving on its own, but is being moved by another thing. It is being moved by a strong force. The amount of force might differ though, regarding on the object's weight. There are some objects that carry so much weight, that only very high force could move. For example, a high skyscraper. The skyscraper would be able to survive high winds. But if a tornado, hurricane, or other natural disasters appear, than the skyscraper then there is a chance of it getting knocked out. What also has a bring role is mass. If the mass is strong, then there's a very low chance the object will be moved. That is also why some objects are stationary or do not move at all.
Some objects are moved faster than other because of the weight/mass of the object. A lot of force may be needed for the object to move. For example, a large pick-up truck, carrying 5 men, runs out of gas. The 5 men get out of the truck and started pushing it; they had a hard time. Eventually, it started moving and they get it to the nearest gas station. The truck was heavy and needed a strong force for it to move. In other words, there is not enough force for the mass to be moved. Objects that are moved vertically, are being moved by gravity that is pushing it to become vertically; It may be falling down, or is being pushed upward. Objects that are moved horizontally are being forced by gravity that is pushing it sideways.
