| friction | the force that opposes motion between two surfaces that are in contact with eachother |
| motion | a change of position in an object |
| Balanced force | Equal forces acting on eachother |
| Unbalanced force | unequal forces acting on each other; results change in the object's motion and follows the larger force |
| velocity | speed and direction of a moving object |
| mass | an amount of matter in an object |
| acceleration | change of velocity over time |
| inetria | an object's tendency to resist change in motion |
| weight | A measure of force + Gravity on an object w=m*a |
| gravity | force of attraction between any two objects |
| potential energy | When energy is stored because the object is still |
| Kinetic energy | when energy is applyed to a particle or object because it is moving |
