• Inertia

• Speed

• Acceleration

• Velocity

Tags

NGSS.MS-PS2-2

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

• Balanced force

• Unbalanced force

tendency of an object to resist change in motion

• Balanced force

• Inertia

• Law of inertia

• Net force

Law of action-reaction

• for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction

• when an object that has a constant mass is acted upon by a force, the object will accelerate in the same direction as the force applied

• the tendency of an object to resist change in motion unless acted upon by a force

• change in an object's motion; caused by unbalanced forces
