For every action, there is an equal and opposite ________
reaction
2 or more forces where one force is stronger than the other. This results in the object moving.
unbalanced force
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 strength of something when it is moving.
Momentum
The location of an object.
position
The amount of distance something goes in a time period
speed
The amount of space between 2 objects.
distance
The greater the _____ of an object, the more force it will take to accelerate the object.
