    Flashcards

    Force

    A push, pull, or hit that can change the motion, shape, or size of an object.

    Inertia

    The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

    Acceleration

    The rate of change of velocity.

    Gravity

    The force of attraction between any two objects with mass.

    Balanced forces

    When two or more forces acting on an object cancel each other out, resulting in no change in the object's motion. Think of a tug-of-war where both teams pull with equal strength, causing the rope to stay still.

    Unbalanced forces

    When forces acting on an object do not cancel each other out, causing the object to change its motion, either by starting to move, stopping, or changing direction.

    Newton's First Law of Motion

    Newton's first law of motion states that an object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion at a constant speed and direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. Basically, objects need a push or pull to start moving, stop moving, or change direction.
