T2W4 Vocab Review

The directional speed of an object in motion.

• velocity
• balanced forces
• unbalanced forces
• conduction
• convection

Forces acting on an object within a system that cancel each other out, providing a net force of zero on an object within the system.

• velocity
• balanced forces
• unbalanced forces
• conduction
• convection

Forces acting on an object within a system that do not cancel each other out or add up to zero, will cause acceleration in the direction of the unbalanced force

• velocity
• balanced forces
• unbalanced forces
• conduction
• convection

The transfer of energy by direct contact between objects or particles.

• velocity
• balanced forces
• unbalanced forces
• conduction
• convection

The transfer of energy through currents in liquids or gases.

• velocity
• balanced forces
• unbalanced forces
• conduction
• convection

The sum of all the forces acting on an object within a system; includes both magnitude and direction

• net force
• force
• motion
• acceleration
• mass

A push or pull between two objects
