| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| any push or pull | force |
| the SI unit for force | Newton |
| curved path of an object falling to earth | projectile motion |
| attractive force between two objects | gravity |
| the rate of acceleration on earth | 9.8 meters per second squared |
| the resistance between two objects gliding over one another | sliding friction |
| the force of air pushing on a falling object | air resistance |
| the force of any liquid or gas pushing on a falling object | fluid friction |
| when a falling object reaches a constant speed due to fluid friction | terminal velocity |
| the gravitational pull on mass | weight |
| the amount of material in an object | mass |
| the SI unit for weight | Newton |
| the SI unit for mass | gram |
| the tendency of an object to continue its motion | inertia |
| an object at rest remains at rest, an object in motion remains in motion, unless acted upon by an opposing force | Newton's First Law of Motion |
| change in velocity | acceleration |
| an opposing force | friction |
| for every force there is an equal but opposite force | Newton's Third Law of Motion |
| The force of an object is equal to its acceleration multiplied by its mass | Newton's Second Law of Motion |
| The upward force of a fluid on an object | buoyancy |
| The buoyant force on an object equals the weight of the fluid displaced by the object | Archimedes Principle |
| The amount of force applied over an area | Pressure |
| A polar bear slips on ice. this is an example of: | sliding friction |
| A giant spider wears roller skates. this is an example of | rolling friction |
| a penny reaches terminal velocity because of gravity and: | fluid friction |
