AB
Motiona change of position in a certain time
Forcea push or pull
Average Speedtotal distance divided by total time
Velocitythe speed and the direction of a moving object
Accelerationa measure of the change in velocity during a period of time
Frictiona force that acts in the opposite direction of motion
Massthe amount of matter in an object
9.8 m/s/sthe acceleration due to gravity on Earth
Weightthe measure of the force of attraction between objects
Inertiathe tendency to either stay at rest or stay in motion
Newton's First Law of Motionan object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will remain in motion at constant velocity unless acted upon by an outside force
Newton's Second Law of MotionF=ma
Newton's Third Law of Motionfor every action force, there is an equal and opposite reaction force
Balanced Forcesthe forces acting on an object cancel each other out resulting in no movement
Unbalanced Forcesone force acting on an object is greater than others which produces a change in motion
