What stops a car from moving forward or backward
Examples: -- up and down, but not sideways or forward and backward -- forward and backward, but not sideways or up and down -- left and right, but not forward and backward or up and down
The phrase "heavy forward but not backwards" refers to the word "ton." It is "heavy" in the sense that a ton is a large unit of weight, and it reads the same forward and backward, making it a palindrome. In the context of math, it suggests that while "ton" has a significant meaning when considered in one direction, it does not hold the same significance when reversed, as "not" does not relate to weight.
A backward pass is one that does not go forward. Often, the receiver of a backward pass may then pass the ball forward. Once the ball has been passed forward, it may not be passed forward again during the same play.
