Decrease in speed. | Deceleration |
The rate at which an object moves. (Distance/Time) | Speed |
The speed of an object in a particular direction | Velocity |
The product of mass x velocity of an object | Momentum |
The tendency of all objects to resist any change in motion. | Inertia |
The force of attraction between two objects that is due to their masses. | Gravity |
The force that results from combining all the forces exerted on an object. | Net force |
A push or a pull. | Force |
Do not cause a change in motion, has a net force of zero. | Balanced force |
A force that does cause a change in motion. | Unbalanced force |
The action that results when a force causes an object to move in the direction of the force. | Work |
A force that opposes motion between two surfaces that are touching. | Friction |
The SI unit of force. | Newton |
A fixed place on the Earth’s surface from which direction and location can be described. | Reference point |
