Study Notes

Motion and Forces

Speed refers to the measure of how fast or slow something moves.
Position refers to the location of an object.
Motion is the process of changing position.
Friction is a type of force that occurs when one object rubs against another.

Forces

Force is a push or pull.
Balanced forces do not change the object's motion.
Unbalanced forces do change the object's motion.
The main difference between balanced forces and unbalanced forces is that balanced forces do not affect the object's motion, while unbalanced forces do.

Key Distinctions

Position refers to the location of an object, whereas direction refers to the direction in which an object is moving.
Distance is not a measure of speed, but rather a measure of the amount of space between two objects.
Motion is not the amount of space between two objects, but rather the process of changing position.
Speed is not the location of an object, but rather the measure of how fast or slow something moves.
