Opposite Forces

When ever something is pushed or pulled there is always an
opposite force pushing or pulling the other way!
A Spring
If one end of a spring is held down and you pull the other end
you can feel a force pulling the spring back against you!

The safety car above is pulling a broken down formula 1 car
As it pulls it off the track to safety a second opposite force is pulling the other way
causing the safety car to slow down from it's normal speed!
