speeding up and slowing down. Also known as speed
acceleration

mass
The strength or force that keeps something moving
momentum
when speed, mass, direction, or velocity shifts
change
The law that says an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion, UNLESS acted on by an outside force.
inertia and Newton's 1st Law

Gravity
This law says that for every action there is an EQUAL and opposite reaction.
Newton's 3rd Law
The man who started thinking about space and motion. Italian.
Galileo Galilei
an equal, opposite response to a force being applied
balanced force
forces that are not equal in magnitude and may or may not act in the same direction.
unbalanced force
The act if going from one place to another; movement
motion
