| transfer of energy | the process by which energy moves from one object to another |
| Unequal forces(unbalanced forces) | forces of different strengths acting on an object, causing a change in the object’s motion |
| force | a push or pull on an object; it causes objects to move, slow down, stop, or change direction |
| friction | the force that resists motion when two surfaces are in contact |
| gravity | the force that attracts an object towards the center of Earth |
