🗑
unbalanced forces   forces that change the rate and direction of the motion of objects  
🗑
rate of motion   the speed of an object, how fast or slow an object is moving  
🗑
Newton's 1st Law of Motion   states that an object at rest will stay at rest or an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted on by an outside force  
🗑
Newton's 2nd Law of Motion   states that Force = Mass x Acceleration, the greater the mass of an object is, the more force is needed to accelerate it  
🗑
Newton's 3rd Law of Motion   states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction  
🗑
distance-time graph   used to illustrate the motion of an object (shows distance traveled over time)  
🗑
mass   the amount of matter in an object, affects how much force is needed to accelerate it  
🗑
