acceleration
A type of friction that slows objects down in the air.
air resistance
A push or pull on an object
force
The location of an object.
position
The amount of distance something goes in a time period
speed
The strength of something when it is moving.
Momentum
forces acting in EQUAL and OPPOSITE directions. Creating NO MOTION.
balanced force
A force that pulls an object towards another object.
gravity
An object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion with the same speed and direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
inertia (or Newton's 1st law of motion)
Anything that has mass and takes up space
matter
2 or more forces where one force is stronger than the other. This results in the object moving.
unbalanced force
