Question
Answer
force   a push or pull that acts on an object  
🗑
newton   the SI unit of force, equal to the force that causes a 1-kilogram mass to accelerate at a rate of one meter per second squared (1 N = 1k X m/s2)  
🗑
net force   the overall force acting on an object after all the forces are combined  
🗑
friction   a force that opposes the motion of objects that touch as they move past each other  
🗑
static friction   a friction force that acts on objects that are not moving  
🗑
sliding friction   a friction force that opposes the motion of an object as it slides over a surface  
🗑
rolling friction   a friction force that acts on rolling objects, caused by the change in shape at the point of rolling contact  
🗑
fluid friction   a friction force that opposes the motion of an object through a fluid  
🗑
air resistance   fluid friction acting on an object moving through the air  
🗑
gravity   the attraction between any two objects because of their masses  
🗑
terminal velocity   the constant velocity of a falling object when the force of air resistance equals the force of gravity  
🗑
projectile motion   the curved path of an object in free fall after it is given an inital forward velocity  
🗑
