Physics In Motion

In this Screenshot, Sonic is sliding along a rail down an incline, incorperating various physics terms.
Gravity & Acceleration - Sonic is headed to a lower elevation, therefore, his speed increases depending on the vector of the rail, representing the incline plane.
      Inertia - As Sonic's velocity is guided along the rail, he builds momentum which makes it difficult to stop. Being an object in motion, Sonic maintains his motion, demonstrating Inertia.
  Friction - As smooth the surface of the rail is, friction is still a present factor (as illustrated by the rail sparks), acting as the force counter-acting his forward motion; net force.
