Get Moving
An object's location or place
Position
The force that directly opposes the force of gravity. (as in an airplane)
Lift
The distance traveled in a unit of time.
Speed
The inventor of the Laws of Motion.
Sir Isaac Newton
Forces that produce a nonzero net force, which changes an object's motion.
Unbalanced forces
This force pulls things toward Earth.
Gravity
To move or raise to a higher position
Elevate
The rate at which velocity changes.
Acceleration
An object in motion will stay in motion, and an object at rest will remain at rest, unless acted upon by an outside force.
Newton's first law of motion
A unit of measure that measures the amount of force required to accelerate mass.
newton
An object's change in position when compared to things around it.
Motion
Any push or pull on an object
Force
The fluid friction experienced by objects falling through the air.
air resistance
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Newton's third law of motion
Equal force acting on an object in opposite directions.
Balanced forces
The force that slows the motion between two surfaces that touch each other.
Friction
Move or fall downward
Descend
Thrust
The tendency of an object to resist any change in its motion.
Inertia
The amount of matter in an object
Mass
Speed and direction
Velocity
The amount of space an object travels.
Distance
Force = mass x acceleration
Newton's second law of motion
The force of gravity on an object at the surface of a planet.
