Forces
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Newton's Laws | Laws that Sir Isaac Newton invented that describe forces. |
| Gravity | A force that pulls objects towards each other. |
| Forces | A push or pull. |
| Friction | Force that two surfaces exert on each other when they rub against each other. |
| Projectile | An object that is thrown. |
| Terminal Velocity | The greatest velocity a falling object can achieve. |
| Centripetal | Circular acceleration |
| Momentum | mass x velocity |
| Newton's Third Law | If one object exerts a force on another object, then the second object exerts an force of equal strength in the opposite direction on the first object. |
| Newton's Second Law | Force = (mass x acceleration) |
| Newton's First Law | An object at rest will remain at rest and an object moving at a constant velocity will continue to do so unless acted on by an unbalanced force. |
| potential energy | stored energy |
| kinetic energy | energy of a moving object |
| velocity | speed in a given direction |
