| Direction | A position to which motion or another position is referred/ The line or course on which something is moving or is aimed to move along which something is pointing or facing. |
| Motion | change in position |
| Position | A condition with reference to place or. location |
| Speed | Rate of change of an objects position. |
| Balanced force | When the net force on an object is zero. There will be no change in the motion of an object. The object is either motionless or maintaining a constant speed. |
| Force | A push or pull acting on an object. |
| Friction | A force that opposes motion between two surfaces that are touching. |
| Gravity | a traditionally defined,force of attraction between two objects, |
| Inertia | Tendency of an object to resist a change in its motion. |
| Magnetic Force | Force of attraction or repulsion exerted by a magnet. |
| Unbalanced force | When the bet force on an object is greater than zero. There will be no change in motion of an object. A motionless object will begin to move, while an object already moving will change its speed and or direction |
| Velocity | Speed in a given direction |
| Constant Speed | Movement at a fixed (constant) distance per unit of time. The same amount of distance is covered by the object in thw same amount of time at each measurement of that same interval |
| Distance | The degree or amount of separation between two points, lines, surfaces, or objects. |
| Reference point | A place or object used for comparison to determine if an object is in motion |
| Slope | The steepness of a line on a graph, equal to its vertical change divided by its horizontal change. |
| Energy | The ability to do work. Energy is anything that can make matter move or change. |
| Energy transformation | Changing from one form to another. |
