Force and friction have a lot to do with how fast an object or a person can move. When you increase force and adjust friction, you've got greater speed. And if you have quick reaction time like table tennis players, you're on your way to a fast victory. We learn about the fastest land animal, motion studies at the Canadian Space Agency, the effects of gravity and friction on motion, the first, second, and third laws of motion, the fastest object in sport, the Magnus effect in table tennis, centripetal force in rollercoasters, and how sprinters use force and friction.
