mass – A measure of the amount of matter in an object. The mass of an
object is related to the force required to accelerate it.
acceleration/force – the more force you apply, the greater the
acceleration

acceleration/mass – the greater the mass, the more force necessary to
get an object to accelerate

balanced forces – when all the forces on an object cancel each other out, you have balanced
forces – no acceleration, no momentum
Click on the picture for some great questions about balanced and unbalanced forces.
unbalanced forces – when forces don’t cancel each other out, there is movement. This is a
result of unbalanced forces.
Click on the picture for some information about unbalanced forces.

momentum – momentum measures how difficult it will be to stop an object
Click on the picture for some information about momentum.
Newton’s First Law of Motion – “An object at rest tends to stay at rest; an object in
motion tends to stay in motion.”
velocity – the speed of a moving object taken together with its
direction of travel
acceleration – a change in velocity
acceleration – a change in velocity
deceleration – when a force causes the speed of an object to decrease
incline – a ramp/slope
pendulum – something hanging from a fixed point that swings
due to gravity and then out due to inertia
