Forces and motion

Measured in m/s -->, this measurement describes how fast an object moves in a specific direction.

• Acceleration

• Velocity

• Speed

• Average speed

Measured in kg, this term describes the amount of matter that an object contains.

• Mass

• Gravity

• Kilogram

• Force

Term that describes a force that acts in the opposite direction of the applied force.

• Force

• Net force

• Friction

• Balanced force

Measured in meters per second, this term describes the distance an object travels in a given period of time.

• Velocity

• Speed

• Acceleration

• Unbalanced force

Term that describes any push or pull that is applied to an object.

• Force

• Friction

• Mass

• Acceleration

Equal and opposite forces, resulting in a net force of zero.

• Unbalanced force

• Balanced force

• Triangular force

• Newton's 1st law

Uneven forces acting on an object, causing motion to occur.

• Balanced force

• Unbalanced force

• Newton's 3rd law

• Motion

Also known as the law of inertia, this law describes how an object in motion or an object at rest will stay that way unless acted on by a net force.

• Newton's 1st Law of Motion

• Newton's 2nd Law of Motion

• Newton's 3rd Law of Motion

Written as F=ma, this law describes the relationship between an object's mass, acceleration, and force applied.

• Newton's 1st Law of Motion

• Newton's 2nd Law of Motion

• Newton's 3rd Law of Motion

This law describes motion in terms of equal and opposite forces. For every reaction force, there is an equal and opposite reaction force

• Newton's 1st Law of Motion

• Newton's 2nd Law of Motion

• Newton's 3rd Law of Motion
