Force and Motion Vocabulary

What is a force?

• a change in position or location.

• a push or pull that causes an object to move, stop, or change direction

• a force that works against motion; it slows or stops motion when objects rub together.

• the force that pulls objects toward the center of the Earth.

What is a friction?

• a change in position or location.

• a push or pull that causes an object to move, stop, or change direction

• a force that works against motion; it slows or stops motion when objects rub together.

• the force that pulls objects toward the center of the Earth.

What is a gravity?

• a change in position or location.

• a push or pull that causes an object to move, stop, or change direction

• a force that works against motion; it slows or stops motion when objects rub together.

• the force that pulls objects toward the center of the Earth.

What is a Newton?

• a push or pull that causes an object to move, stop, or change direction.

• when forces are equal, does not cause a change in motion.

• when forces are unequal, causes a change in motion.

• the unit we use to measure force with a spring scale.

What are balanced forces?

• a push or pull that causes an object to move, stop, or change direction.

• when forces are equal, does not cause a change in motion.

• when forces are unequal, causes a change in motion.

• the unit we use to measure force with a spring scale.

What are unbalanced forces?

• a push or pull that causes an object to move, stop, or change direction.

• when forces are equal, does not cause a change in motion.

• when forces are unequal, causes a change in motion.

• the unit we use to measure force with a spring scale.
