Question | Answer |
---|---|
balanced forces | forces that cancel each other out-equal in size and opposite direction |
electricity | a form of energy produced by the flow of electric charges |
force | a push or a pull- may cause a change in an object's motion |
gravity | a force that pulls two objects toward each other, like the Earth and objects on it |
magnet | an object that attracts iron and a few other metals |
net force | the combination of all the forces acting on an object |
static electricity | the buildup of electric charges on an object |
unbalanced forces | forces that cause a change in an objects motion because they don't cancel each other out |
