Newton's Laws Vocabulary

1. the fundamental quantity of matter in an object and also a measure of its inertia, or its resistance to changes in motion
3. a fundamental attraction between all objects with mass or energy
6. a push or a pull on an object that causes it to accelerate
7. a unit of force that will accelerate one kilogram of mass one meter per second squared
9. the rate at which an object's velocity changes over time
10. a property of a moving body, equal to the product of its mass and velocity,
14. a net force that is not equal to zero
15. two or more forces that are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, resulting in a net force of zero and no change in an object's state of motion

2. the direct push or pull exerted by one object (or person) on another object, causing the object to change its state of motion (start moving, stop, or change direction) or to deform
4. an object's inherent tendency to resist any change in its state of motion, whether it's at rest or moving at a constant speed in a straight line.
5. the pulling force exerted by a string, rope, cable, or similar flexible connector when it is pulled tight from opposite ends
8. the overall or total force acting on an object, which is determined by adding all the individual forces acting on it as vecto
11. a branch of geology concerned with the structure of the crust of a planet (as earth) or moon and especially with the formation of folds and faults in it
12. the rate at which an object changes its position, combining its speed and the direction of its motion
13. a contact force that opposes the relative motion or attempted motion between two surfaces or objects, acting in the direction opposite to their movement
