Essential concepts and terminology to understand this topic
A body at rest stays at rest, and a body in motion stays in motion unless acted on by an external force.
The acceleration of an object depends on its mass and the force applied to it (F = ma).
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
A push or pull on an object that can cause it to accelerate.
The amount of matter in an object, measured in kilograms.
The rate of change of velocity of an object over time.
The force of attraction between two masses, especially Earth's pull on objects.
A force that opposes the motion of an object through air.
The energy an object possesses due to its motion.
The stored energy in an object due to its position or configuration.
The path followed by an object moving through space.
The act of squeezing a material into a smaller volume, often storing potential energy.
A force applied to an object to move it in a specific direction.
A force that opposes the relative motion of two surfaces in contact.
A scientific procedure to test a hypothesis or demonstrate a principle.
