| Term1 | Definition1 | Term2 | Definition2 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Force | A push or pull object. | Net Force | The combination of all the forces acting on an object. |
| Contact Force | A push or pull object by another that is touching it | Balanced Forces | Forces acting on an object that combine and form a net force of zero. |
| Noncontact Force | A force that one can apply to another object without touching. | Unbalanced Forces | Forcing acting on an object that combine and form a net force that is not zero. |
| Gravity | An attractive force that exists between all objects that have mass. | Newton's First Law Of Motion | If the net force on an object is zero, the motion of the object does not change. |
| Mass | The amount of matter in an object. | Inertia | The tendency of an object to resist a change in its motion. |
| Weight | The gravitational force exerted on an object. | ||
| Friction | A force that resists the motion of two surface that are touching. |
