Friction:
A force that opposes motion between two objects that are touching and causes an object to slow down or come to a stop.

Gravitational Potential Energy:
Energy an object posses because of it's position in a gravitational field.
Gravity:
an attractive force that exists between all objects that have mass;the greater the mass, the greater the gravity between the objects.

Energy in motion.

Newton's First Law Of Motion(Inertia):
An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion until an unbalanced force acts on it.

Newton's Second Law Of Motion(F=MxA):
It requires more force to move a larger mass.

Speed:
Determined by dividing the total distance by the total distance by the total time it took to cover that distance.

Unbalanced Force:
Forces that are unequal and cause an object to accelerate.
