NGSS.MS-PS2-2

a measure of how much matter is in an object

• mass

• net force

• terminal velocity

• matter

A measurement of an object's speed and direction

• speed

• direction

• velocity

• inertia

Tags

NGSS.MS-PS3-1

The tendency of the motion of an object to remain constant for both speed and direction.

• Mass

• Inertia

• Velocity

• Average Speed

Forces acting in opposite directions in equal strength so there is no change in the speed of the object.

• Inertia

• Force

• Balanced Forces

• Mass

Forces that are not equal, causing a change in the motion of an object’s speed or direction.

• Velocity

• Direction

• Speed

• Unbalanced Forces

Amount of force acting on an object.

• Weight

• Mass

• Newton's 3rd Law

• Net Force

NGSS.MS-PS2-2

forces on all sides are equal; net force= 0; an object’s motion will not change

• force

• net force

• balanced force

• unbalanced force

The velocity of an object will remain constant unless a net force acts on it.

• Newton's 1st Law

• Newton's 2nd Law

• Newton's 3rd Law

• Newton's 4th Law

forces are not equal; net force does not equal zero; an object’s motion will change

• balanced force

• unbalanced force

• net force

• friction
