The greater the _____ of an object, the more force it will take to accelerate the object.
mass
The strength of something when it is moving.
Momentum
A push or pull on an object
force
the course something moves along.
direction
forces acting in EQUAL and OPPOSITE directions. Creating NO MOTION.
balanced force
For every action, there is an equal and opposite ________
reaction
gaining or increasing speed
acceleration
The amount of space between 2 objects.
distance
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)
The amount of distance something goes in a time period
speed
A type of friction that slows objects down in the air.
air resistance
A force that pulls an object towards another object.
gravity
force that slows down an object that is rubbing on a surface
friction
Anything that has mass and takes up space
matter
The location of an object.
position
2 or more forces where one force is stronger than the other. This results in the object moving.
