• net force

• force

• acceleration

• Speed

Equal and opposite forces on an object that result in no change in position, direction or motion; net force is equal to zero

• Force

• Newtons 1st Law

• Unbalance force

• Balance force

A push or a pull that acts on an object and is measured in Newtons

• Net force

• Force

• Unbalance force

• Speed

Combination of all the forces acting on the object

• Force

A measurement of an object's speed and direction

• Newton

• Velocity

• Acceleration

• Speed

NGSS.3-PS2-2

An object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force

• Newton's 1st Law (Law of Inertia)

• Newton's 2nd Law (Law of force & acceleration)

• Newton's 3rd Law (Law of action and reaction)

• Speed

The acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the net force applied

• Speed

• Newton's 3rd law (law of action & reaction)

• Newton's 1st law (law of inertia)

• Newton's 2nd law (law of force and acceleration)
