AB
accelerationrate of change of velocity
inertiatendency of object to resist change in motion
Newton's first law of motionobject at constant velocity keeps moving at that velocity unless unbalanced force acts upon it
Newton's second law of motionobject's accelleration is same direction & equal to net force divided by mass
Newton's third law of motionwhen 1 object exerts force on 2nd object, 2nd exerts equal force in opposite direction
air resistancefriction-like force opposes motion through air
terminal velocitymaximum speed when falling through substance (air)
free fallwhen gravity is only force affecting a fall
centripetal forceforce exerted toward center of curved path
law of conservation of motiongroup of objects exerts force on on eath other, total momentum does not change
momentumproperty of a moving object that equals its mass times velocity
