Term
Velocity
Definition
The speed and direction of an object
Term
Newton's First Law of Motion
Definition
An object not being subjected by a force will continue to move at a constant speed in a straight line or stay at rest.
Term
Balanced Force
Definition
Having a net force of zero
Term
Gravitational Force
Definition
Everything on or around the Earth is pulled towards Earth's center.
Term
The cause of an acceleration
Definition
Unbalanced force
Term
