change direction | altered path, adjusted route |
drag | the force that shows an object's movement through a fluid such as air or water |
energy | the ability to cause changes in matter; the ability to do work |
gear | two toothed wheels that fit together so that one wheel will turn the other to create movement |

incline plane | a simple machine made of a flat, sloping surface such as a ramp |
kinetic energy | the energy of motion |
load | something carried, especially something that is heavy |
matter | anything that has material and takes up space |
opposite forces | reverse effects upon the movement of an object |
pulley | a simple machine made of a wheel that usually has a groove for a rope, chain or belt to wrap and move around |
