| Force | Push or Pull |
| Newton's First Law | An object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. |
| Newton's Second Law | F = M x A Force = Mass X Acceleration |
| Newton's Third Law | For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction |
| Friction | Force that opposes motion - (Goes against) |
| Velocity | Speed in a certain direction |
| Inertia | The tendency of an object to resist changes in motion |
| Speed | Speed = Distance divided by time How fast or how slow objects move |
| Acceleration | Speeding up (Speed Increases) |
