Mr. G's Energy and Motion
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Motion | an object's change in position relative to a reference point |
| Reference Point | a basis or standard for evaluation, assessment, or comparison; a criterion. |
| Speed | the distance traveled dividing by the time interval during which the motion occurred |
| Velocity | the speed of an object in a particular |
| Acceleration | the rate at which velocity change over time;an object accelerates if its speed,direction,or both |
| Force | a push or a pull exerted on an object in order to change the motion of the object; force has size and direction |
| Newton | the SI unit for force (symbol, N) |
| Net Force | the combination of all of the force acting on an object |
| Balanced Force | when the forces on an object produce a net force of 0 N,the forces are balanced |
| Unbalanced Foce | when the net force on an object is not 0 N,on the object are unbalanced |

| Potential Energy | energy stored with a object |
| Kinetic Energy | energy of motion |
| Energy | power derived from the utilization of physical or chemical resources |
