| When two objects interact, each pushes or pulls on the other with an equal-strength force in the opposite direction. | Newton's Third Law |
| The greatest force measured during an interaction, such as a collision. | Peak Force |
| The ability to cause change or do work. | Energy |
| Energy of motion. A moving object has KINETIC ENERGY. | Kinetic Energy |
| Stored energy related to an object's position or stored internally. | Potential Energy |
| The amount of matter in an object. | Mass |
| How far an object travels in a certain amount of time. | Speed |
| Energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can be transferred or changed into another form. | Law of Conservation of Energy |
| A change from from one form of energy to another. | Energy Transformation |
