13364930525 | Acceleration | Change in velocity. Can be a change in direction, positive (speeding up) or negative (slowing down). | 0 | |
13364930529 | Magnitude | A scalar quantity | 1 | |
13364930537 | Motion | A change in the position of an object over time from a reference point. | 2 | |
13364930544 | Example of velocity | Nemo swims 37 m/s South to Wallaby Way in Australia. | 3 | |
13364930545 | Speed | the distance traveled by an object in a given amount of time. | 4 | |
13364930546 | Example of speed | Nemo swims 58 m/s | 5 | |
13364930548 | Velocity | speed of an object and its direction of motion; changes when speed, direction or both changes | 6 | |
13364930552 | vector | An quantity that has a magnitude and direction | 7 | |
13364930555 | displacement | the total distance traveled by an object regardless of direction from start to finish | 8 | |
13364930556 | distance | the amount traveled from a certain spot. | 9 | |
13369600902 | If an object is moving northward and slowing down, then the direction of its acceleration vector is | South | 10 | |
13369588737 | If an object is moving eastward and slowing down, then the direction of its velocity vector is | East | 11 | |
13369591457 | If an object is moving eastward and slowing down, then the direction of its acceleration vector is | West | 12 | |
13460890782 | Newton's First Law | An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. | 13 | |
13460895928 | Newton's Second Law Equation | Force = mass x acceleration | 14 | |
13460909605 | Newton's Second Law | The acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables - the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object. | 15 | |
13460915299 | Newton's Third Law | For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction | 16 | |
13460923107 | balanced forces | Equal forces acting on an object in opposite directions | 17 | |
13460924748 | unbalanced forces | Forces that cause a change in the motion of an object | 18 | |
13460942499 | Inertia | The tendency of an object to resist a change in motion. Inertia depends on mass. | 19 | |
13460966687 | Mass | the amount of matter in an object | 20 | |
13460970658 | Force | a push or pull on an object | 21 | |
13460977144 | action-reaction forces | pair of forces involved in an interaction that are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction | 22 |

Need Notes?
While we strive to provide the most comprehensive notes for as many high school textbooks as possible, there are certainly going to be some that we miss. Drop us a note and let us know which textbooks you need. Be sure to include which edition of the textbook you are using! If we see enough demand, we'll do whatever we can to get those notes up on the site for you!
