|---|---|
 Balanced | When two forces equal each other |
| Newton | a unit of force equal to the force that imparts an acceleration of 1 m/sec/sec to a mass of 1 kilogram |
| Sliding Friction | The friction force that resists the motion of an object moving across a surface |
| Weight | Force of gravity on an object |
| Friction | A force that resists motion |
| Force | a push or pull, or any action that involves the interaction of objects and has the ability to change motion |
| Net Force | The sum of all forces acting on an object |
| Pound | The English unit equivalent of 4.48 newtons |
| Newton's First Law | an object at rest will stay at rest, an object that is moving will stay moving unless disturbed by an unbalanced force |
| Momentum | The mass of an object times its velocity |
| Unbalanced Forces | Forces that result in a net force on an object and can cause changes in motion |
| Newton's Second Law | When an object is acted on by one or more outside forces, the total force is equal to the mass of the object times the resulting acceleration |
| Inertia | the tendency of a body to maintain is state of rest or uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force |
| Newton's Third Law | For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction |
