Acceleration

The change in velocity,speeding up or slowing down.

Air resistance

The frictional force between air and an object that is in motion.

Balanced Forces

The pressure is equal on an object, but in opposite directions.

Force

force is a push or pull that is measured in newtons.

Friction

A force that acts against two objects, causing an object to slow down or stop.

Inertia

The tendency of an object to resist motion.

Kinetic Energy

energy that is in motion.

Newtons 1st law (inertia)

An object not in motion will stay at rest, an object in motion stays in motion.

Newtons 2nd Law

(F=M X A) Requires more force to move a large mass.

Newtons 2nd Law

(F=M X A) Requires more force to move a large mass.

Newtons Third Law (Action-Reaction)

For every action,there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Potential Energy

Energy an object has due to it's position.
