What do you need in order to be able to calculate the speed of an object? ____________
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Standard 4.2b: SWBAT understand that forces cause changes in motion.
Vocabulary:

Force - __________________________________________________________________________

Newton - ________________________________________________________________________

The greater the force, the ___________________the change in motion will be. The
more massive an object, the ______________________ a given force will have on the
object.

Unless acted on by a force, objects in motion tend to _____________________________
and objects at ___________________ remain at rest.
Standard 4.2c: SWBAT describe how friction and gravity cause changes in
motion.
