| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Newton's First Law | An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force |
| inertia | matter's resistance to change in motion |
| Centripetal Force | the force that causes objects to have circular motion |
| Newton's second law | states the acceleration of an object is equal to the net force acting on it, divided by the object's mass. |
| Newton's Third Law | For every action force there is an equal and opposite reaction force |
| Momentum | a measure of how difficult it is to change the inertia of an object. |
| Law of Conservation of Momentum | states that the total momentum of a group of objects stays the same unless outside forces act on the objects |
| mass x velocity | momentum formula |
| p | abbreviation for momentum |
| mass x gravity | weight formula |
| mass x acceleration | force formula |
