| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Newton's second law of motion | states that the acceleratioon of an object is in the same direction as the net force. |
| Friction | the force that opposes the sliding motion of two surfaces that are touching each other. |
| Static fiction | the frictional force that prevents two furfaces from sliding past each other. |
| Sliding friction | the force that opposes the motion of two surfaces sliding past each other. |
| Air resistance | opposes the motion of objects that move through the air. |
| Gravity | an attractive force between any two objects that depends on teh masses of the objects and the distance between them. |
| Weight | gracitational force exerted on an object is called the objects weight. |
| centripetal acceleration | acceletation toward the center of a curved or sircular path. |
| centripetal force | net force exerted toward the center of a curved path. |
| Newton's Third Law of Motion | action reaction pairs this way when one object exerts a force on a second object, the second one exerts a force on tehf irst that is equal in strenth |
| momentum | an object is the prouct of its mass and velocity |
