Motion is the change in position of a body over time.
Forces can alter the speed, direction, and shape of objects.
Balanced forces do not change the motion of objects, whereas unbalanced forces do.
Inertia causes an object to maintain its state of motion unless acted upon by an external force.
Newton's laws describe the relationship between the forces exerted on an object and its resulting motion.
Friction opposes motion and has both advantages and disadvantages.
Momentum is conserved in isolated systems, remaining constant before and after interactions.
A push or pull acting on a body that can change its speed, direction, or shape.
The tendency of a body to resist changes in its state of motion.
A body remains at rest or continues in uniform motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced external force.
The rate of change of momentum of a body is directly proportional to the applied force.
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
A force that opposes the motion of an object.
Mass is the amount of matter in an object, whereas weight is the force with which gravity attracts that mass.
The quantity of motion possessed by an object, calculated as mass times velocity.
