Forces and Motion

Unequal forces that cause a change in the motion of an object.

It causes the moving object to slow down and eventually stop.

An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion until acted upon by an unbalanced force.

A force that opposes motion.

The overall force acting on an object when all the individual forces are combined.

The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass.

The rate of change of velocity of an object.

The product of an object's mass and its velocity.

Force = Mass x Acceleration (F = m x a).
