🗑
Net Force   Net Force is the overall force acting on an object.  
🗑
Unbalanced forces   It's when two forces acting on an object are in different size, causing a change in motion.  
🗑
balanced forces   Two forces acting in same directions in an object , and equal in size.  
🗑
Friction   The resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another.  
🗑
Static friction   Lacking into movement, action, or change.  
🗑

🗑
tension   An elastic force that stretches or pulls on the molecules in matter.  
🗑
inertia   The tendency of an object to resist any change in its object.  
🗑
momentum   The product of an object's mass and velocity.  
🗑
law of conservation of momentum   The rule that in the absence of outside forces the total momentum of objects that interact does not change.  
🗑
satelite   Any object that orbits around another object in space.  
🗑
centripetal force   A force that causes an object to move in a circle.  
🗑
