Force and Motion

Distance traveled in a specific amount of time? You can calculate it by dividing the distance by time.

• velocity

• acceleration

• speed

• force

An objects resistance to change of speed or direction?

• speed

• inertia

• unbalanced force

• gravity

Every action has an opposite, equal reaction.

• Newton's 1st law

• Newton's 2nd law

• Newton's 3rd law

• Fig Newton's law

NGSS.MS-PS2-1

The force that one surface exerts on another surface when two objects rub against each other?

• friction

• gravity

• inertia

• balanced force

An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. Likewise an object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

• Newton's 2nd law

• Newton's 3rd law

• Fig Newton's law

• Newton's 1st law

Motion of an object depends on the objects mass and the net force applied to it.

The rate at which an objects speeds up, slows down or changes direction.

• acceleration

• speed

• velocity

• momentum

• friction

• balanced force

• unbalanced force

• inertia
