Motion and Forces

AB
average speeddistance traveled divided by the time it took to travel that distance
velocitythe speed of the object and its direction of motion
accelerationhow velocity changes over time
forcea push or pull
Newton's First Law of Motionan object in motion will stay in motion unless a force acts on it
inertiathe tendency to resist a change in motion
frictiona force between two surfaces in contact that resiststhe motion of the surfaces past each other
Newton's Second Law of Motionif an object is acted on by a net force, the object will move in the direction of the net force
Newton's Third Law of Motionfor every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
m/slabel for average speed
m/s heading eastexample of velocity
Newtonslabel for force
