NGSS.MS-PS2-2

The force that one surface exerts on another when the two surfaces rub against each other.

• inertia

• Gravity

• Friction

• Mass

The tendency of an object to resist any change in its motion.

(ex. your body moves forward after slamming on the brakes in a car)

• Newton

• Gravity

• Friction

• inertia

The force that pulls objects toward each other.

(ex. the Earth pulling you down)

• Gravity

• Friction

• Air Resistance

• inertia

The units of measurement for Force.

• Meter (m)

• Millimeter (mm)

• Newton (N)

• Liters (L)

Forces that produce a non-zero net force, that change an object's motion.

• Unbalanced Forces

• Balanced Forces

• Friction

• Gravity

What term refers to equal forces acting on an object in opposite directions, and the object does not move?

• Unbalanced forces

• Balanced forces

• Gravity

• Friction
