What is the speed at which something moves in a given direction?

• velocity

• potential energy

• speed

• weight

The rate at which someone or something is able to move or operate.

The energy required to place an object in a position. This energy is stored until the object moves.

• speed

• potential energy

• weight

• velocity

When 2 equal forces act on an object. Generally it does not move.

• load

• balanced force

• air resistance

• friction

The natural tendency of an object at rest to stay at rest or an object in motion to stay in motion.

• kinetic energy

• effort

• inertia

• balanced force

A push or pull. Something that pushes or pulls an object in a certain direction.

• force

• load

• energy

• effort
