| force field | a model that shows what the force of an object would be if placed in an empty space |
| weight | the amount of gravitational force pulling on an object |
| mass | the amount of matter in an object |
| newtons 3rd law of motion | for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. |
| newtons 1st law of motion | an object at rest stays at rest; an object in motion stays in motion |
