Newton's Laws of Motion

Match the key word to its definition.

AB
frictionforce that opposes motion between two surfaces
massamount of matter in an object or a measure or the inertia of an object
inertiaresistance to change
velocityspeed of an object, but in a specific direction
forcepush or pull
weightmeasure of gravitational attraction or force or gravity pulling one object toward the center of another object
Newton's First Law of MotionEvery object persists in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless it is compelled to change that state by state by forces impressed on it
change in motionthe result of unbalanced forces
gravitythe force that pulls on objects and causes acceleration if the objects are not balanced by an opposing force
speeddistance traveled per unit time
Newton's Second Law of MotionForce is equal to the change in momentum (mV) per change in time. For constant mass, force equals mass times acceleration. F = m x a
Newton's Third Law of MotionFor every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
Accelerationthe rate velocity changes with time
