| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| acceleration of an object is in the same direction as the net force of an object | newton's second law of motion |
| the force that opposes the sliding motion of two surfaces that are touching each other | friction |
| the frictional force that prevents two surfaces from sliding past each other | static friction |
| the force that opposes the motion of two surfaces sliding past each other | sliding friction |
| opposes the motion of objects that move through the air | air resistance |
| an attractive force between any two objects that depends on the masses of the objects and the distance between them | gravity |
| the gravitational for exerted on an object | weight |
| acceleration toward the center of a curved or circular path | centripetal acceleration |
| the net force exerted toward the center of a curved path | centripetal force |
| when one object exerts a force on a second object, the second one exerts a force on the first that is equal in strength and direction (action-reaction) | newton's third law of motion |
| the product of its mass and velocity | momentum |
