Definition
| Result in a net force on an object that can cause changes in motion. |
|

Term
|
Definition
| The property of an object that resists changes in it's motion |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
The distance an object travels divided by the time it takes.
s= d/t

Term
|
Definition
| A variable that tells both speed and direction |
|
|
Term
| What is the difference between Speed and Velocity? |
|
Definition
| Speed and Velocity are different because speed is a measurement of distance and time but velocity is a measurement of speed and direction. |
|
|
Term
| Newton (as in a measurement) |
|
Definition
| The metric unit of force, equal to the force needed to make a 1 kg a object accelerate at 1 m/s^2 |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| An object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion with the same velocity unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. |

|
Definition
Acceleration is force/mass.
A=F/M
F=MA
M=F/A |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| For every action force, there is a reaction force equal in strength and opposite in direction. |
|
|
Term
| What is the relationship between mass and acceleration? |
|
Definition
When mass goes up, acceleration goes down.
This is called being inversely proportional.

Definition
| When a spacecraft (in outerspace) is out of range from the gravitational pull of Earth, a spacecraft can travel in a constant direction, at a constant speed because that pull of gravity is gone. |
