Ch. 2 (Forces), Sections 3-4: Friction and Gravity/Action and Reaction: Key Terms and Definitions

AB
sliding frictionfriction that occurs when one solid surface slides over another
rolling frictionfriction that occurs when an object rolls over a surface
fluid frictionfriction that occurs as an object moves through a fluid
gravitythe force that pulls objects toward each other
free fallthe motion of a falling object when the only force acting on it is gravity
projectilean object that is thrown
air resistancethe fluid friction experienced by objects falling through the air
terminal velocitythe maximum velocity a falling object can achieve
weighta measure of the force of gravity on an object
momentumthe product of an object's mass and velocity
law of conservation of momentumthe rule that the total momentum of objects in an interaction does not change
Newton's third law of motionthis states that every time there is an action force on an object, the object will exert an equal and opposite reaction force
frictionthe force that one surface exerts on another when the two rub against each other
satelliteany object that travels around another object in space
centripetal forceany force that causes an object to move in a circle
