| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Mass | The amount of matter in an object |
| Force | push or pull on an object with mass that causes it to change velocity (to accelerate) |
| Newton's Second Law of Motion | The acceleration of a moving object depends upon its mass and the force acting on it |
| Velocity | the rate at which an object changes position with time |
| Newtons | SI unit of force that measures the force necessary to provide a mass of one kilogram with an acceleration of one meter per second per second. |
| Force | The push or pull on an object that causes it to change velocity |
| Motion | Change of position or orientation of an object over time |
| Acceleration | The rate of change of the velocity (increase or decrease) |
