Inertia
The tendency of an object to resist a change in motion unless an outside force acts on the object
2
New cards
Weight
A measure of the gravitational force exerted on an object
3
New cards
Free Fall
The motion of a body when only the force of gravity is acting on the body
4
New cards
Terminal Velocity
The constant velocity of a falling object when the force of air resistance is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force of gravity
5
New cards
Projectile Motion
The curved path that an object follows when thrown, launched, or otherwise projected near the surface of Earth
6
New cards
Momentum
A quantity defined as the product of the mass and velocity of an object
7
New cards
Newton’s First Law
An object at rest remains at rest and an object in motion maintains its velocity unless it experiences a net force
8
New cards
Newton’s Second Law
The unbalanced force acting on an object equals the object’s mass times its acceleration
9
New cards
Newton’s Third Law
For every action force, there is an equal and opposite reaction force
