Whoa, look at that floating banana.
Is that possible?
It must be hovering because it is at rest and has no force acting upon it.
It is I, the Great Bananisimo!
I am here to teach you about objects at rest using bananas.
You see, all objects have forces acting upon them.
Well, what about gravity?
Well, gravity is the force that pulls objects toward each other, like me to Earth.
See?
Ok, I understand now.
There are also other forces acting on objects at rest...
like inertia.
Huh?
Inertia is an object's tendency to remain the same.
I am so lost.
Basically, an object sitting on a table won't move unless an outside force acts upon it.
Inertia also means that an object with more mass requires more energy to move--
like a trash can requires more effort to move than a banana.
Oh, that makes sense.
So... all these rules. The banana shouldn't be able to hover, right?
Precisely. The banana can't actually hover.
The laws a physics must end this defiance!
Invoke this banana with proper science!

Farewell, young student.
Be sure to eat plenty of bananas.
