| free fall | the motion of a body when only the force of gravity is acting on the body |
| projectile motion | the curved path that an object follows when thrown, launched, or otherwise projected near the surface of Earth; the motion of objects that are moving in two dimensions under the influence of gravity |
| inertia | the tendency of an object to resist a change in motion unless an outside force acts on the object |
| momentum | a quantity defined as the product of the mass and velocity of an object |
