Gravity, inertia - Coggle Diagram
Gravity
Gravity affects all objects the same when they are in free fall, differences only coming from differences in air resistance.
Air resistance
Air resistance in environments with friction allow for the existence in free fall of terminal velocity.

Gravity can not be changed on earth, so it is a fundamental force.
Fundamental forces can not be derived from others, the force generated from two objects rubbing together is not a fundamental force, this force is friction.
Friction
Friction is the main reason why objects do not move forever, this tendency for objects to continue motion is inertia.
Inertia is directly connect to the law that says "An object at rest or in motion will remain at rest or in motion until acted upon by an external force." This is Newtons 1st Law.
Newtons First Law
Newtons First Law is one of three laws, the second is called Newtons Second Law.
Newtons Second Law states that an objects force is proportional to the acceleration multiplied by the mass.
