Terminal Velocity

The ________ depends on the size, shape, and mass of a falling object.

New cards
3

Weight

________ is a force and mass is a measure of the amount of matter an object contains.

New cards
4

6

Earths Gravity

________ causes projectiles to follow a curved path.

New cards
7

Chemical interactions

________ between atoms and molecules also are due to the electromagnetic force.

New cards
8

Electricity

________ and magnetism are caused by the electromagnetic force.

New cards
9

Newtons Second Law of Motion

________ describes how the forces exerted on an object its mass, and its acceleration are related.

New cards
10

Gravity

________: an attractive force between any two objects that depends on the masses of the objects and the distance between them.

New cards
11

Newtons Third Law of Motion

________: describes action- reaction pairs this way: When one object exerts a force on a second object, the second one exerts a force on the first that is equal in strength and opposite in direction.

New cards
12

Momentum

New cards
13

Air Resistance

________: opposes the motion of objects that move through the air.

New cards

15

Static Friction

________: the frictional force that prevents two surfaces from sliding past each other.

New cards
16

Amount of Friction

The ________ between two surfaces depends on two factors- the kinds of surfaces and the force pressing the surfaces together.

New cards
17

Momentum

________ is transferred in collisions.

New cards
18

Friction

________ is due to microwelds formed between two surfaces.

New cards
19

Static Friction

the frictional force that prevents two surfaces from sliding past each other

New cards
20

Sliding Friction

the force that opposes the motion of two surfaces sliding past each other

New cards
21

Centripetal Acceleration

Acceleration toward the center of a curved or circular path

New cards
22
