Force, Motion & Energy

What is motion?

• An object's speed and direction of movement

• A push or pull that causes an object to start, stop, or change direction

• Forces that have the same strength and cancel each other out

• Forces that don't cancel each other out and cause motion

What are balanced forces?

• Forces that have the same strength and cancel each other out

• Forces that don't cancel each other out and cause motion

• The combination of all the forces acting on an object

• Objects tend to stay in motion or at rest unless acted upon by a force

What are unbalanced forces?

• Forces that have the same strength and cancel each other out

• Forces that don't cancel each other out and cause motion

• The combination of all the forces acting on an object

• Objects tend to stay in motion or at rest unless acted upon by a force

What is net force?

• The combination of all the forces acting on an object

• An object's speed and direction of movement

• A push or pull that causes an object to start, stop, or change direction

• Forces that have the same strength and cancel each other out

What are Newton's Laws of Motion?

• Objects tend to stay in motion or at rest unless acted upon by a force

• A push or pull that causes an object to start, stop, or change direction

• Forces that have the same strength and cancel each other out

• Forces that don't cancel each other out and cause motion

What is mass?

• The amount of matter or substance that makes up an object

• The force of gravity acting on an object

• A force that opposes the motion of an object, slowing it down

• Stored energy that can be used in the future

What is weight?

• The force of gravity acting on an object

• The amount of matter or substance that makes up an object

• A force that opposes the motion of an object, slowing it down

• Stored energy that can be used in the future

What is friction?

• A force that opposes the motion of an object, slowing it down

• The force of gravity acting on an object

• The amount of matter or substance that makes up an object

• Stored energy that can be used in the future

What is energy transfer?

• When energy is transferred from one object to another

• Energy that can be used in the future

• Energy of motion

• Energy produced by vibrating matter
