6th Force and Motion
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Acceleration | change in an object’s motion (position, direction, speed); caused by unbalanced forces |
| Average speed | the total distance traveled by an object over a total amount of time |
| Balanced force | equal and opposite forces on an object that result in no change in position, direction, or motion |
| Constant speed | when an object’s speed remains unchanged |
| Displacement | how far an object has moved from its original position; the difference between the final and initial positions |
| Kinetic energy | energy of motion |
| Potential energy | stored energy of an object because of its position or shape |
| Unbalanced force | unequal forces on an object that may result in a change in position, direction, or motion |
| Force | a push or pull that can change the position or motion of an object / material |
| Inclined plane | a flat supporting surface tilted at an angle, with one end higher than the other, used as an aid for raising or lowering a load |
| Newton (n) | the SI unit for force |
