100
An object that changes position over time relative to a reference point
What is MOTION
100
This is divided by time to get the average speed

100
These are the two types of forces
What is COMPRESSION and TENSION

200
The combination of all forces acting on an object
What is NET FORCE
200
True or False: Objects that weigh less will have more friction with another surface than an object that weighs more.
What is FALSE
200
This is how many millimeters are in a meter.
