The acceleration of a falling object due to Earth’s gravity
2
New cards
Acceleration Due to Gravity
9\.8m/s and represented by g (gravity)
3
New cards
Weight
The force of gravity acting on an object
4
New cards
Air Resistance
A force that acts against the force of gravity on an object at freefall
5
New cards
Terminal Velocity
The maximum velocity reached by an object in free fall in which the forces of gravity and air resistance are equal
6
New cards
Force
A push, pull. (Or other action that has the ability to change motion
7
New cards
Newtons First Law
An object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay at motion (with the same velocity) unless acted by an outside or unbalanced force
8
New cards
Inertia
The property of an object that resists its change in motion
