| Question | Answer |
| Force | Force is the measurement of a push or pull on an object |
| Friction | Friction is the resistance of motion when one object rubs against another |
| Acceleration | Acceleration is the measurement of the change in an object's velocity |
| Collision | A collision in physics occurs when any two objects bump into each other |
| Gravity | Gravity is a force caused when the mass of physical bodies attract each other |
| Mass | Mass is a measurement of how much matter is in an object |
| Newton | The newton is the standard unit of measure for force |
| First law of motion | The first law of motion states that any object in motion will continue to move in the same direction and speed unless external forces act on it |
| Weight | Weight is the force of gravity on an object |
| Balanced | When two forces combine to cancel each other out |
| Unbalanced | When two forces do not cancel each other out |
| Deceleration | Decrease in the velocity of an object |
| Velocity | The displacement divided by the time taken |
| Attract | To pull towards each other |
| Inertia | A property of all objects that is related to its mass - moving objects tend to stay moving and motionless objects remain motionless |
| Magnetic force | The force created by a magnet |
| Resisting force | A force such as wind resistance or friction |
| Newton(The Guy) | An English philosopher and mathematician who originated the theory of gravity |
| Newton's Third Law | For every force and action, there is an equal and opposite reaction |
| Newton's Second Law | Newton's second law of motion states that a force, acting on an object, will change its velocity by changing either its speed or its direction or both. |
