🗑
Net force   the overall force on an object when all the individual forces acting on it are added together  
🗑
Unbalanced Force   forces that produce a nonzero net force, which changes an object's motion  
🗑
Balanced Force   equal forces actin on an object in opposite directions  
🗑
Friction   the force that one surface exerts on another when the two surfaces rub against each other  
🗑
Static Friction   friction that acts on objects that are not moving  
🗑
Sliding Friction   friction that occurs when one solid surface slides over another  
🗑
Rolling Friction   friction that occurs when an object rolls over a surface  
🗑
Fluid Friction   friction that occurs as a an object moves through a fluid  
🗑
Gravity   the force that pulls objects toward each other  
🗑
Mass   the amount of matter in an object  
🗑
Weight   the force of gravity on an object at the surface on a planet
