The rate of motion, or rate at which a body changes position The rate of motion at a given instant at time, such as that given on a car's speedometer 9/12 Net Force The tendency of an object to resist any change in its motion. The sum of forces on an object when unbalanced forces are applied to it. The measure of the force of gravity on an object 10/12 Speed The sum of forces on an object when unbalanced forces are applied to it. The speed and distance of a moving body, such as a storm or a basketball thrown across a court The rate of motion, or the rate at which a body changes position 11/12 Velocity The tendency of an object to resist any change in its motion. The measure of the force of gravity on an object The speed and distance of a moving body, such as a storm or a basketball thrown across a court 12/12 Weight The measure of the force of gravity on an object The tendency of an object to resist any change in its motion. The rate of motion at a given instant at time, such as that given on a car's speedometer
