Propulsion & Locomotion
​
Educational Standards:
​
C-Palms
Investigate the effect of applying various pushes and pulls on different objects.
NGSS
For any pair of interacting objects, the force of the first object exerted on the second object is equal to the strength of the second object that exerts on the first but in the opposite direction.
