ACCELARATION
THE RATE AT WHICH VELOCITY CHANGES (SPEED CHANGES)

Slope

Or side I sat a higher level than another

Force

Net force
The combination of all forces acting on an object

Balanced force
Equal forces acting on an in opposite directions

Energy
Capacity to cause change

Potential energy
Stored energy

Kinetic energy
Energy in motion
