Chapter 11 Forces and Motion

Distance
The ___________________between two places
Position
An object's _________________ compared to other
things
Motion
A change in an object's ____________ when compared
to a fixed object.
Speed
How fast an object's position changes with
_______________ at a given moment (Example: 60
miles per hour)
Velocity
Indicates an object's __________________ and its
direction of motion
Acceleration
Change in ______________ over time. (example: If a
moving object changes direction, then it has
changed its acceleration)
Force
Required to set an object in _________________ or to
stop a moving object
Newton
Metric unit used for ____________________ force
Friction

Balanced
Force
Unbalanced

A force that _____________________ the motion of an

object
(example: wheels and rollers ________________
friction
A push or pull that does not change the
_________________ of an object
A push or pull that causes a change in

Force
Newton's
First Law of
Motion

_________________ of an object
An object at ___________ tends to stay at
_______________
An object in ___________will remain in
_________________

Newton's
Second Law Acceleration depends on the object's _______________
of Motion
and the amount of net ______________ applied to it
Momentum
The combination of the ______________ and
_________________ of an object. (Example: a baseball
has more momentum than a tennis ball because it
has more mass)
Newton's
Third Law of For every __________________ force there is an
Motion
_________________ and ___________________ reaction
