Good peer pressure‚ on the other hand‚ is being pushed into something that you didn’t have the courage to do or just didn’t cross your mind to do. Some people say that good peer pressure is when you get pushed into something that you didn’t want to do and it turned out well.

Research An object that is falling through the atmosphere is subjected to two external forces. The first force is the gravitational force‚ expressed as the weight of the object. The weight equation which is weight (W) = mass (M) x gravitational acceleration (A) which is 9.8 meters per square second on the surface of the earth. The gravitational acceleration decreases with the square of the distance from the center of the earth. If the object were falling in a vacuum‚ this would be
