Applying Newton's first law to answer some true/false statements about why objects move (or not).

In this unit you will learn:

• About the turning effect of forces
• Turning effects are called moments
• Understand that regular and irregular shaped objects have a centre of gravity
• An objects centre of gravity determines if it is in a stable, neutral, or unstable equilibrium
