Sir Isaac Newton
Came up with the three laws of motion
A push or pull on an object is called
force
speed
a distance an object travels over a unit of time
net force
the overall force of an object when all individual forces are acting on it
velocity
speed in a specific direction
weight
the force of gravity on an object at the surface of a planet
friction
when two surfaces rub against each other
balanced
equal in strength and opposite in direction, resulting in no motion or constant motion
unbalanced
not equal or in opposite directions, causing a change in motion
direction
the path along which something moves or points
motion
a change in position or location
