unbalanceda force that causes motion or a change in motion
accelerationchanging velocity
velocityrate of motion
air resistancefrictional force from air molecules hitting an object as it moves through the air
frictionforce between surfaces that goes against the motion of an object
massamount of matter of an object
motionmovement a change in position
directionline along which something is pointing, facing or moving
average speedrate an object could travel between two points without changin speed
distancelength of a path an object travels
speedrate of motion
action forceone of a pair of forces that causes a change of motion of an object
balanced forcesforce on an object equal in strength and opposite in direction that cancel each other.
gravityforce that exists between any two objects because the objects have mass
laws of motionNewtons 3 laws that describe the behavior of objects in terms of masses,forces and motion
1st laws of motionobjecvt will stay at rest or continue to move in the same direction at the same speed, unless an outside force acts on it
2nd laws of motionan object accelerates when an outside force acts on it.
3rd law of motionall forces occur in pairs, for every action force there is a reaction force of equal strength but opposite in direction.
