Front

balanced force

Back

two forces acting in opposite directions on an object, and equal in size

Back

two or more forces that are not equal and opposite of one another; can cause change in motion

Front

distance

Back

The length of a path between two points

Front

time

Back

the interval over which change occurs

Front

motion

Back

An object's change in position relative to a reference point.
