What is plasma?
100
You can apply this to reduce friction between two surfaces.
What is a lubricant?
200

200
Sometimes called air resistance, this force opposes an aircraft's motion through the air.
What is drag?
200
A ball has two forces acting on it. One force is pushing it to the left and a larger force is pushing it to the right. This is the direction the ball will move.
What is right?
300
When the line on a distance-time graph levels off, the object in motion does this.
What is stop?
300
This force opposes motion between two surfaces that are touching.
What is friction?
300
These are three words that describe direction.
What are north, south, and east? also acceptable: west, left, right
300
This law states that objects at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force.
What is Newton's First Law of Motion?
300
An object is in a state of ____________ when all the forces acting on it balance each other.
What is equilibrium?

What are balanced?
400
These types of forces cause motion.
What are unbalanced forces?
400
This law states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?
400
