What is frame of reference?
300
A force that acts between any two objects and pulls them together.
What is gravitation?
300
The measure of an object's change in position during a unit of time.
What is speed?
300
A change of position of an object.
What is motion?
400
A constant force of 5 N is applied to an object resting on a flat surface, causing it to accelerate to the right. A force of 10 N is then applied in the opposite direction. In which direction does the object move now?

500
Suppose you held a toy car at the top of a ramp and let it go. You are careful not to push the car. Why does the car roll down the ramp? What other force affects the car's motion?
What is because gravity pulls it down the ramp? Friction between the wheels and the ramp's surface affect the motion.
500
A measure of the gravitational force acting on an object.
