Friction | Force that holds back the movement of an object. |
Traction | Friction between two objects that keeps them from sliding across each other. |
Adhesion | The sticking together of two different materials |
Cohesion | The sticking together of the same material |
Lubricant | Substance that reduces friction. |
Drag | Friction as object moves through air or water. |
Aerodynamic | Shaped object allowing air/water to move around it with reduced drag. |
Gravity | Pull toward the center of an object. |
Law of Universal gravitation | The closer the objects are to one another, the more powerful the attraction. |
Terminal velocity | When the force of friction and gravity cancelled each other out on a falling object. |
Centripetal Force | A force acting on an object moving in a circular path and is directed toward the enter of moving path. |
