Force   strength or energy as an attribute of physical action or movement.  
🗑
Net Force   In physics, net force is the overall force acting on an object.  
🗑
Newtons second law of motion   Heavy objects that need more force to go as the same speed.  
🗑
Unbalanced Forces   In physics, tension is the pulling force exerted by a string, cable, chain, or similar solid object on another object.  
🗑
Center of mass   A point representing the mean position of the matter in a body or system.  
🗑
Friction   The resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another.  
🗑
Newtons first law of motion   States that if the net force acting on an object is zero, the object will remain at rest or move in a straight line with the constant speed.  
🗑
Newtons third law of motion   States that forces always act in equal but opposite pairs.  
🗑
Weight   Gravitational force between an object and earth.
