as there is no air resistance (friction or drag) In deep space there is no gravity so everything is weightless. An asteroid No forces – it is either stationary or … … it has a constant velocity (constant speed in a straight line) Stationary A force will make it accelerate in the direction of the force Same force in a different direction – same acceleration Bigger force - bigger acceleration A force not through the centre of mass will make the asteroid spin as well as accelerate 5N 5N
