inertia

• speed and direction of an object

• change in an objects position

• tendency for an object to stay in motion or to stay at rest

force

• any push or pull

• tendency for something to stay in motion or stay at rest

• how fast an object's position changes over time

• when an object speeds up, slows down or changes directions

motion

• change in an object's position

• how fast an object moves

• the speed and direction of an object

• a change in velocity

friction

• any push and pull

• a force between surfaces that slows objects or stops them from moving

• a non contact force that acts over distance and pulls objects together
