though different terminology is used. Motion is thought of in acceleration and velocity. Now, velocity is just the distance covered over an amount of time, or speed. Acceleration is the change in speed. In general terms, any object that is standing still is being acted upon by equal and opposite forces, and if one of those forces was changed, then the object would undergo acceleration. Think of a person holding a coffee cup. Gravity is working on the object to pull it down, and his or her arm is pulling equally in the opposite direction to keep it up. If the person were to let go, there wouldn't be the upward force, and the cup would accelerate towards the Earth, and its "motion" would be changed.

TRUE!
