| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| force | push or pull |
| unbalanced force | causes object to start moving, stop moving, or change direction |
| newton | unit to measure force |
| net force | total force |
| balanced force | equal forces acting in opposite directions |
| friction | force when two objects rub against each other |
| factors that affect friction | how hard surfaces push together and type of surface |
| static friction | not moving |
| fluid friction | solid moves through a liquid |
| friction | acts in opposite direction of motion |
| gravity | force that pulls objects toward each other |
| gravitational attraction | dependent on mass and distance |
| free fall | only force acting on object is gravity |
| air resistance | type of fluid friction |
| terminal velocity | force of air resistance equals weight of object |
| projectile | object that is thrown |
| mass | amount of matter |
| weight | changes based on gravitational force |
