AB
air resistancefluid friction that opposes the motion to objects through the air
terminal velocitythe constant velocity of a falling object when the size of the upward force of air resistance matches the size of the downward force
free fallthe condition an object is in when gravity is the only force acting on it
centripetal forcean unbalanced force that causes objects to move in a circular path
projectile motionthe curved path an object follows when thrown or propelled near the surface of the Earth
Newton's First Law of Motionan object at rest remains at rest and an object in motion remains at motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force
inertiathe tendency of all objects to resist any change in motion
Newton's Second Law of Motionthe acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of force applied
Newton's Third Law of Motionwhenever one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first
momentuma property of moving objects that depends on the object's mass and velocity
