Does the shape of an object affect the rate at which it falls?
yes in air or liquid. The shape determines the opposing force (friction) encountered. A flat object will fall in a tumbling manner, because the opposing force is mostly likely acting at a an angle to the fall and the angle is changing with the inclination of the object. Even a baseball will spin because of the unevenness of how friction acts on the surface facing down.
How do laws of motion affect your ability to control your vehicle?
The lower the dynamic coefficient of friction between your tires and whatever you are driving on, the more likely you are to continue moving in a straight line at a constant speed, despite your efforts to turn or brake.
What would happen to the passengers in a stationary bus if it were hit from behind?
The stationary bus will immediately move forward with that force by which it was struck. Those inside will tend to remain stationary until acted upon by parts of the now moving bus; this will be nearly immediate. As they are acted upon by the now moving bus, they will begin to move in the same direction, and will continue to move in that direction until some other force counters or alters that movement, typically some other structure in the bus. This will occur much that same for the bus that was struck.This is the embodiement of Newton's three laws of Motion:The bus is stationary and then struck. The bodies in the bus are stationary and then acted upon by the movement of the bus. If an object experiences no net force, then its velocity is constant: the object is either at rest (if its velocity is zero), or it moves in a straight line with constant speed (if its velocity is nonzero).The bus is struck. The bodies in the bus are acted upon by the now moving bus. The acceleration a of a body is parallel and directly proportional to the net force F acting on the body, is in the direction of the net force, and is inversely proportional to the mass m of the body, i.e., F = ma.When a first body (the moving bus) exerts a force F1 (the impact) on a second body (the stationary bus), the second body simultaneously exerts a force F2 = −F1 on the first body. This means that F1 and F2 are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. - in short, if the two buses are equal in mass, the first bus is likely to stop as the second bus accelerates.
What is required to get a stationary object moving?
An outside force is needed. If friction comes into play (which it likely will), the magnitude of the applied force must be greater than the force of friction acting upon the object in order for the object to move. FYI, the force of friction is equal to the coefficient of static friction times the normal force (equal to the weight of the object).

Where can you find Christmas stationary?
Christmas stationary can be found in most major department stores in the Christmas season. For example, in the UK, Christmas stationary can be found in House of Fraser or John Lewis. Outside of the Christmas season, then Christmas stationary will only likely be found in Christmas shops or online.
What most likely to have enmity for one another?
Opposing candidates during an election.

What does 225 s on a s b mean?
"225 s on a s b" likely means "225 seconds on a stationary bike." This could refer to a workout duration or a challenge to pedal for 225 seconds on a stationary bike.
