Newton's Laws
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Force | The push or pull that acts on an object |
| Inertia | The tendency of an object to resist a change in its state of motion |
| Friction | the resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another. |
| Speed | the rate at which someone or something is able to move or operate |
| Velocity | The rate of change of the position of an object, equivalent to a specification of its speed and direction of motion, |
| Acceleration | the change in velocity (speed and direction) |
| Newton's First Law | The state of motion of an object does not change until a force is applied to it. |
| Balanced Forces | When all of the forces on an object cancel one another out. |
| Unbalanced Force | Where a certain force is either partially canceled or not canceled at all by other forces |
| Action | When one object applies a force to a second |
| Reaction | When a second object reacts to the first object |
| Newton's Second Law of Motion | Acceleration is produced when a force acts on a mass. |
| Gravity | the force that attracts a body toward the center of the earth, or toward any other physical body having mass. |
| Weight | a body's relative mass or the quantity of matter contained by it |
| Newton's Third Law of Motion | For every action there is an equal and opposite re-action. |
