The movement of objects in our environment

Intro to physics

Mena Issa  

In our environment, there are many different types of objects, some that move and some that don't. Each object has it's own shape and size. In order for an objects to move, force has to be applied. The stronger the force or energy is, the further the object will go. Not only do we need force, but we also need gravity because without it, we would just be floating around. Humans and animals do all kinds of movement everyday, we can jump, skip, walk, run, move in different directions, and in different speed. We can move because we have a brain that allows us to control our movement, unlike stationary objects. Almost all living things move, and almost all things build by humans do not move, because they are not living, but if force is applied to them, then they could move. We can move them, but they don't have the option to move on their own. For us humans, we can move vertically, horizontally, fast, or slow because we have legs that we can control. Animals, for example a lion, also has the ability to move vertically, horizontally, fast, or slow because they also have legs. But you don't necessarily need legs to move, because for example, fishes can move any way or speed they want too. Although animals, humans, and other living things move, some things are stationary, like a book, or a lamp. The reason things like these don't move is because, they are not living, they are made by humans. A Car, for example, is a stationary objects, but if energy is applied to it, it can move. Same thing with airplanes, without its fans, energy, and the air, it would not move at all. Plants also move because when they start growing, they move vertically from the ground and up. Plants though, can't really move from one place to another because they are stuck to the ground in the dirt. Lastly, i think that movement can happen with anything and anywhere as long as there is some kind of force or energy applied.
