Forces of Motion Part 1

Question	Answer
air resistance	the force of the air pushing against an object moving through the air; this force acts in the opposite direction of the object's motion Image: Air+Resistance (binary/octet-stream)
balanced forces	forces that act on an object but cancel each other out Image: Balanced+Forces (binary/octet-stream)
buoyant force	the upward force exerted on an object by water Image: Buoyant+Force (binary/octet-stream)
force	a push or pull that causes an object to move, stop or change direction Image: Force (binary/octet-stream)
friction	a force that opposes motion Image: Friction (binary/octet-stream)
gravitational force	the pull of all objects in the universe on one another Image: Graviational+Force (binary/octet-stream)
gravity	the attraction between objects and Earth Image: Gravity (binary/octet-stream)
kinetic energy	the energy of motion Image: Kinetic+Energy (binary/octet-stream)
magnetic	the ability to attract iron objects Image: Magnetic (binary/octet-stream)
magnetic force	the force produced by a magnet Image: Megnetic+Force (binary/octet-stream)
net force	the combination of all the forces acting on an object Image: Net+Force (binary/octet-stream)
potential energy	the energy an object has because of its condition or position Image: Potential+Energy (binary/octet-stream)
unbalanced forces	forces that act on an object and do not cancel each other out; this causes a change in motion Image: Unbalanced+Forcces (binary/octet-stream)
