Changes in Force and Motion

Forces on an object that do not change the motion of the object.

• x-axis

• time

• distance

• balanced forces

The horizontal line with labels on a coordinate grid. Time is represented on it.

• average

• speed

• x-axis

• y-axis

A push or pull that can change the motion of an object measured in Newtons.
