Force Motion Energy
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| friction | a force that opposes the motion of one object moving past another |
| unbalanced force | a force that causes an object to change its motion |
| inertia | the tendency of a moving object to keep moving in a straight line |
| buoyancy | an upward force exerted by a liquid on an object that causes the object to float. |
| balanced forces | forces that act on an object without changing its motion |
| Newton's third law | every action has an equal and opposite reaction |
| motion | a change in position over time |
| velocity | speed with direction |
| distance ÷ time | the formula for calculating speed |
| energy | the ability to perform work or change an object |
| potential energy | energy that is stored in the position or structure of an object |
| kinetic energy | energy of a moving object |
| the law of conservation of energy | energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only change form |
