Which Forces are Most Important During Terrestrial Locomotion

Question

Which forces are most important during terrestrial locomotion?
A) gravity and inertial forces
B) inertial forces and buoyancy
C) lift and drag forces
D) buoyancy and drag forces
E) gravity and drag forces

Accepted Answer

Gravity and inertial forces are most important during terrestrial locomotion because gravity affects how organisms move on land by pulling them towards the Earth, and inertial forces relate to the mass of the organism and how it accelerates or decelerates.
