100
How heavy something is, determined by the pull of gravity on the object's mass.
What is weight?
100
The amount of matter, measured on Earth by its weight.
What is mass?
100
The force that pulls things toward the center of Earth or any other object that has mass.
What is gravity?
100
A machine with moving parts that uses power to create motion; a motor.
What is engine?
100
The power to do work, make a change, or move objects.
What is energy?
200
Experiencing little or no noticeable gravitational pull.
What is weightless?
200

What is momentum?
200
Energy created by moving charged particles
What is electricity?
200
The amount of space between things.
What is distance?
200

500
The tendency of an object to resist change in the direction or speed of its motion.
What is inertia?
500
A force that slows down moving things and creates heat.
What is friction?
500
The act of using force to move something over a certain distance.
