Motion Vocab

6. the time rate of change of the momentum of a body is equal in both magnitude and direction to the force imposed on it
8. the amount of matter in an object
9. length of the path between 2 points
13. not moving, stable
14. one force is greater than another, the forces are not balanced

1. the tendency of an object to resist any change in motion; is dependent upon the object's mass
2. The force that pulls objects toward each other; factors include the objects' masses and distance apart
3. the rate and direction of an object's movement
4. does not change it's position with respect to it's surroundings with time
5. equal in size and opposite in direction
7. length of the path between 2 points in a particular direction
10. a body is at rest or moving at a constant speed in a straight line, it will remain at rest or keep moving in a straight line at constant speed unless it is acted upon by a force
11. when two bodies interact, they apply forces to one another that are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction
12. the motion-opposing force exerted by surfaces when objects are in contact with each other; factors include surface conditions and mass
13. the rate of change of velocity per unit of time
15. a push or a pull exerted on an object; a force is described by its strength and direction; F=M x A
