| inertia | an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion |
| acceleration | change in velocity (speed up, slow down or turn) |
| force | a push or pull |
| Newton's 1st Law | Law of Inertia (an object at rest remains at rest and an object in motion remains in motion unless acted upon) |
