Cyber Foundations 2 Unit 6 Vocabulary

A force that pushes on or squeezes a material.

• Compression

• Displacement

• Distance

• Friction

Distance and direction of an object's change in position from the starting point.

• Displacement

• Speed

• Friction

• Gravity

How far an object moves

• Distance

• Displacment

• Friction

• Gravity

A force that opposes motion between two surfaces that are in contact

• Friction

• Gravity

• Inertia

• Sheer

A force that pulls objects toward each other

• Gravity

• Sheer

• Speed

• Tension

the tendency of an object to remain at rest or in motion

• Inertia

• Prototype

• Velocity

• Displacement

An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
