Balanced Forces
Forces acting on an object are equal
Unbalanced Forces
Forces acting on an object are not equal
Net Force
Larger force minus smaller force
Friction
A force exerted on surfaces when they rub past each other
Newton's 1st law
An object resting rests forever unless you apply a force.
An object moving will move forever unless you apply a force
Newton's 2nd Law
F=ma, the force applied to an object in order to make it stop or go is equal to the object's mass multiplied by acceleration.
Newton's 3rd Law
All actions have equal and opposite reactions.
Inertia
The resistance of an object to move or stop.
Acceleration
Rate of change in velocity
Velocity
Distance divided by time, with a direction
Speed
Distance divided by time. d/t
Potential energy
Stored energy
Kinetic energy
Released energy
Work
work = force x distance
