Use when motion needs to feel physically grounded—objects falling, characters jumping, things colliding, or any element that should obey believable weight and momentum.

# Physics Intuition

Think like a physicist watching the world move. Every object has mass. Every motion has cause and consequence.

## Core Mental Model

Before animating anything, ask: **What does this weigh?**

A feather and a bowling ball both fall, but they tell completely different stories. Your job is to make the audience *feel* that weight without thinking about it.

## The 12 Principles Through Physics

**Squash & Stretch** — Mass is conserved. When something compresses, it must bulge. A bouncing ball flattens on impact because its volume has to go somewhere.
