| Bowling bass are made heavy because they are difficult to ____. | Stop. |
| What is momentum? | The measure of how difficult it is to stop an object. |
| What is Newton's first law? | That an object at rest wants to stay at rest and an object in motion, wants to stay in motion. Unless stopped by an unbalanced force. |
| An unbalanced force can change the _____ or/and ______. | Speed, direction. |
| What are balanced forces? | Forces that are equal in size but opposite in direction. |
| What are unbalanced forces? | Forces that are not equal in size/direction and cause a change in motion. |
