👉 Advancing is a mathematical concept that refers to an object moving in a direction where it has more energy than its surroundings. It occurs when the object's velocity (its speed) is greater than its resistance to change, and this difference between velocity and resistance is called the advantage.
For example, consider a ball rolling down a hill. The ball moves forward because its velocity (the rate at which it travels in a given direction) is higher than the frictional force opposing its motion. This means that
