Motion vocabulary

acceleration

• an influence or power that can cause a change in an object or system.

  
  

• in physics, the rate at which the speed of a moving object changes over time

  
  

energy

• the ability to do work, have power or produce change.

  
  

• the speed of something; rate of motion.

  
  

• where something is located.

  
  

force

• the rate something moves; velocity.

  
  

• the ability to do work, have power or produce change.

  
  

• an influence or power that can cause a change in an object or system.

  
  

friction

• the process, act or result of changing place or position.

  
  

• the speed of something; rate of motion.

  
  

• the process, act or result of changing place or position.

  
  

• a force of resistance from surfaces or objects rubbing or moving against one another. It can cause a moving object to slow or stop.

  
  

motion

• the transfer of energy through motion.

  
  

• a motionless state.

  
  

• the process, act or result of changing place or position.

  
  

rest

• the speed of something; rate of motion.

  
  

• near o relating to the North or South Pole.

  
  

• motionless state.

  
  

speed

• in physics, the rate at which the speed of a moving object changes over time

  
  

• the rate something moves; velocity.

  
  

velocity

• the speed of something; rate of motion.

  
  

• the transfer of energy through motion.

  
  

• the ability to do work, have power or produce change.

  
  

• a force of resistance from surfaces or objects rubbing or moving against one another. It can cause a moving object to slow or stop.

  
  

work

• where something is located.
