Interia | tendency of an object to resist change |
Gravity | force exerted by every object in the universe on every other object |
Newton's 1st Law of Gravity | An object moving at a constant velocity keeps moving at that velocity unless a net force acts on it |
Newton's 2nd Law of Gravity | an object accelerates in the direction of the net force |
Friction | force that opposes motion |
Weight | the measure of the force of gravity on an object |
Mass | a measurement of the amount of matter in an object |
Balanced Forces | forces on an object that are equal in size and opposite in direction |
Acceleration | the rate of change in velocity |
Seat Belt Law | Another name of Newton's 1st Law of Motion |
Net Force | changes the object's speed or direction or both |
Terminal Velocity | the greatest velocity reached by a falling object |
Air Resistance | frictional force air exets on a moving object; act opposite in direction to the object's motion |
