Definition
| How fast an object moves and direction the object travels. |
|
|
Term
| Newton's First Law of Motion |
|
Definition
| An object not being subjected by an unbalanced force will continue to move at a constant speed in a straight line or stay at rest. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Having a net force of zero |

Term
|
Definition
| A measurement of how far an object has moved. |
|
|
Term
| Describes an object which is moving without accelerating. Forces are balanced. |

Definition
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The sum of all forces acting on an object. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The property of an object to resist change in its motion. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A push or a pull. Measured in Newtons. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The rate at which velocity changes with time. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A resistive force which opposes motion. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The amount of matter in an object. Measured in grams or Kilograms. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The force upon an object due to gravity (mass X gravity). Measured in Newtons |
|
|
Term
| Newton's Second Law of Motion |
|
Definition
| Acceleration produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, is in the same direction as the net force, and is inversely proportional to the mass of the object. |

Definition
| Newton's Second Law of Motion |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Two values change in opposite directions. For example, twice the mass results in 1/2 the acceleration. Three times the mass, results in 1/3 the acceleration. |
|
|
Term
| Newton's Third Law of Motion |
|
Definition
| Whenever one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts equal but opposite force on the first object. |

Term
| Law of Universal Gravitation |
|
Definition
| Every object attracts every other object with a force that is dependent upon mass and distance between objects. |
