Acceleration
answer
This is a change in velocity per time.
question
Balanced Forces
answer
These are equal and opposite forces that do not cause a change in position or motion.
question
Direction
answer
This is is the line, or path along which something is moving, pointing, or aiming.
question
Displacement
answer
The vector quantity that defines the distance and direction between two positions.
question
Distance
answer

question
Net Force
answer
This is the sum of all the forces applied to an object. It is usually separated into a horizontal and vertical component.
question
Speed
answer
This is the rate of distance traveled per unit of time, without regard to direction.
question
Time
answer
This is a number, as of years, days, minutes, or seconds representing such an interval. The SI standard unit of this is the second.
question
unbalanced
answer
Force This force is also called the net force. It is the type of force that Moves accelerates an object.
question
Velocity
answer
This is an object's change in motion per unit time in a specified direction.
question
Weight
answer
This is the force of attraction between an object and the earth due to gravity.
question
X Axis
answer
In a line graph comparing two variables, the independent variable is plotted along this axis.
question
X-Y Graph
answer
This is a type of graph where the dependent variable is plotted vs. the independent variable as unique points.
question
Y Axis
answer
In a line graph comparing two variables, the dependent variable is plotted along this axis.
