Gravity & Newton's Laws

AB
What is the acceleration of falling objects?9.8 m/s/s
How does air resistance affect the acceleration of falling objects? What is air resistance?It slows down falling objects. It is fluid friction.
What is terminal velocity?a constant velocity
When is an object in a free fall?When gravity is pulling down on it and no other forces are acting on it.
What two motions make up an orbit?Moving foward and a free fall.
What is inertia?The tendency of objects to resist any change in motion.
What two things does acceleration depend on?The mass and force applied.
What is the formula for Newton's second law?a=f/m or f=mxa
What two things does momentum depend on?mass and velocity.
What does Newton's first law state?An object at rest stays at rest and an object at motion stays at motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
What does Newton's second law state?The acceleration of an object is dependent upon the force acting on the object and the mass of the object.n
What does Newton's third law state?Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
A force that makes any object pull toward another object is ________.gravity
