Do you know how forces affect speed and going faster? What about forces slowing things down and stopping them? We stop cars and bikes by using friction. When you throw a ball up into the air, what happens? Why does it not just keep going up for ever? Because of gravity! Let’s find out a bit more about how things move, and how they stop through friction and gravity.
