AB
speedhow fast or slow something is moving. d/t
constant speedspeed that doesn't change. maintains a steady speed
accelerationspeed up or slow down
forcepush or pull
newton's first law of motionan object will continue to move or stay still unless acted on by unbalanced force
inertiatendency of an object to remain in motion or at rest
balanced forceforces are in equal and opposite direction
unbalanced forceforce is greater in one direction, greater exertion of force wins
newton's second law of motionan object acted upon by an unbalanced force will accelerate in the direction of the force. larger force wins
frictionforce that resists sliding motion between two objects in contact
static frictionkeeps an object at rest from moving when force is applied
sliding frictionwhen two objects, in contact, slide past each other
rolling frictionforce that enables an object to move forward or backward as its going around and around
air resistanceforce that acts on an object as its traveling through the air
newton's third law of motionfor every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction
