Friction The resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another.
Kinetic Energy Energy that an object has due to its motion.

Balanced Forces If two individual forces are of equal magnitude and opposite direction, then the forces are said to be balaned.
Chemical Energy A form of potential energy that is stored in chemical bonds between atoms
Nuclear Energy The potential energy stored in the nuclear of an atom.
Energy Transfer A change from one form of energy to another.
Average Speed Since average speed is the rate position changes average speed =distance traveled/time taken
