Speed | the distance an object moves a certain period of time |
Velocity | measure of both the speed and direction of a moving object |
Inertia | resistance of an object to change in it's state of motion |
Relative Motion | change in position of one |
Balanced Force | equal forces acting in opposite directions |
Force | A push or a pull |
Weight | a measure of the pull of gravity on an object's mass |
Instantaneous speed | the speed at any given point |
Acceleration | Change in velocity during a particular time period |
Friction | force between surfaces that resists the movement of one surface past the other surface |
Frame Reference | object an observer uses to detect motion |
Gravity | the force of attraction that exits between any two objects |
Newton | metric system, the unit used to measure force or weight |
Speedometer | that shows instantaneous speed |
Law | describes events or relationships that exist in nature |
Air-resistance | the friction from air molecules hitting an object moves through the air |
Net force | combination of all the forces acting on an object |
