| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Field | a region of space in which every point has a physical quantity, such as a force. |
| Force | A force is a push or pull on an object.` |
| Friction | Friction is the force that opposes the sliding motion of two surfaces that are in contact. |
| Gravity | Gravity is an attractive force between all objects that have mass. |
| Net Force | The net force on an object is the combination of all the forces action on the object. |
| Weight | gravitational force exerted on an object. |
| Inertia | is the tendency of an object to resist a change in motion. |
| Newton's first law of motion | states that the motion of an object at rest or moving with constant velocity will not change unless an unbalanced force acts on the object. |
| Newton's second law of motion | states that the acceleration of an object depends on it mass and the net force exerted on it. |
| Newton's third law of motion | when an object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts a force on the first object. |
| Air resistance | Is a force that opposes an object's motion through the air. |
| Centripetal Force | Causes an object to move in a circular path. |
| Free fall | if gravity is the only force acting on an object, then the object is in freefall. |
| Law of conservation of motion | that if an object exert forces only on each-other, their total momentum is conserved. |
| Terminal velocity | the maximum speed an object will reach when falling through a substance such as ai. |
