• blue
• red
• straight
• vertical 

_________ opposes the motion of one object moving past another. 

• friction 
• velocity
• unbalanced forces
• simple machines

The speed and direction of an object. 

• velocity
• heat
• energy
• convection 

What is Newton's First Law

• F=ma
• Every action has an equal and opposite reaction
• An object at rest stays at rest, an object in motion stays in motion. 
• Friction
