newtons first law, inertia, and motion
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Distance | how far you've traveled from two positions |
| Displacement | change in position from where you start |
| Scalar | quantity that only requires magnitude |
| Vector | quantity that takes both magnitude and directions |
| Speed | how fast something is moving |
| Velocity | rate at which position changes |
| Newtons first law | The law of inertia; an object in motion will stay in motion at the same speed in the same direction unless acted upon by a force, and an object at rest will stay at rest. |
| Mass | A measure of the amount of matter an object contains, also the amount of inertia an object has |
| Inertia | the resistance an object has to changes in its motion |
| Force | any push or pull that can cause a change in motion |
| Net force | |
| Balanced force | |
| Unbalanced force |
