How much matter is in an object
Mass
a push or pull exerted by one object on another, causing a change in motion.
Force
The tendency of an object to stay in motion or stay still.
Inertia
A force that opposes the motion of one object moving past another. It slows things down and stops them.
Friction
An object at rest, stays at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion, in the same direction and speed...unless acted on by a force.
4.) Newton’s 1st Law
An object's acceleration depends on the size and direction of the force, and the mass of the object.
Newton’s 2nd Law:
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Newton’s 3rd Law:
A change in position compared to the starting location, which happens over a period of time
Motion
Not in motion
At rest
Unbalanced Forces:
forces that do not cancel each other out when acting together on a single object
forces that cancel each other out when acting together on a single object
Balanced Forces
to become smaller or less in size, number, or amount.
Decrease
to make something bigger or add more to it, making it greater in number, size, or amount
Increase
The location of an object in relation to a known object.
Position
when an object slows down, meaning its velocity decreases over time.
Deceleration
When an object is speeding up. Increase in velocity with respect to time.
Acceleration
