Static Friction: a resistive force between stationary objects due to the roughness of the two surfaces in contact
Newton's third law: If two bodies exert forces on each other, these forces have the same magnitude but opposite directions
Conservation of momentum: A law that states that the total momentum is conserved in a closed system
Sliding Friction: A contact force that resists the sliding motion of two objects or an object and a surface.
Mass: The amount of matter in an object
Centripetal force: Any force that causes centripetal acceleration
Gravitational force: An attractive force that occurs between all objects that have mass
Weight: The force of gravity on an object
Friction: A force that opposes the motion of a body across a surface or through a gas or liquid
Inertia: An object's resistance to a change in motion
Fluid Friction: Occurs between fluid layers that are moving relative to each other
Newton's first law: A body remains at rest, or in motion at a constant speed in a straight line, unless acted upon by a force
Strong nuclear force: The force that holds the nucleus of atoms together
Force: A pull or push that is applied to an object
Net force: The resulting force is determined by combining all of the forces acting on an object
Terminal velocity: The maximum velocity (speed) attainable by an object as it falls through a fluid
Projectile motion: A form of motion experienced by an object or particle (a projectile) that is projected near the Earth's surface and moves along a curved path under the action of gravity only
Rolling friction: Engineering frictional resistance to rotation or energy losses in rolling bearings
Gravity: A force that exists between any two objects that have mass and that pulls the objects together. The greater the mass of an object, the greater its gravitational pull.
Weak nuclear force: The force responsible for radioactive decay
Momentum: A quantity of how much inertia a dynamic object has
Newton's second law: When a body is acted upon by a force, the time rate of change of its momentum equals the force
Electromagnetic force: Responsible for the chemical bonds between atoms which create molecules, and intermolecular forces
Air resistance: A type of friction, or fluid resistance, another type of friction or fluid friction
Newton: Newton built the first practical reflecting telescope and developed a sophisticated theory of color
