Normal force
|
upward force of the ground perpendicular to the surface

|
Newton's Law of motion
|
Three rules describing how things move. an object wikk move with constant motion if no net force is acting on it. An object that has an unbalanced force acting on it will accelerate in the direction of the force: Forces occur in equal but opposite pairs.

|
Gravity
|
attraction between all Matter: a force that pulls on all objects that have mass.
|
|

|
|
Average Speed
|
distance traveled, divided by the time it takes to travel this distance
|
|
|
Force
|
a push or pull: can be measured by the amount of acceleration it can give mass.
|
|
|
Acceleration
|
rate at which speed or direction change: can be found by dividing the changes in speed by the given time.
