true
|
|
movement from place to place
|
motion
|
|
the force that pulls all materials together across space

gravity
|
|
Using your knowledge of balanced forces, explain why a table stays in one place

|
Unbalanced forces may cause the moving the object to either speed up or slow down.
|
|
The size of a force on an object depends on what two things?
|
mass and acceleration
|
|
the rate at which speed is changed
|
acceleration
|
|
