| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Gravity | all objects attract each other |
| weight | the force on an object due to gravity |
| Terminal Velocity | point at which an object stops accelerating while falling |
| Inertia | an objects ability to resist change |
| Static friction | friction of an object that is not moving |
| Kinetic friction | friction created by a moving object |
| Newton's 1st Law (Inertia) | an object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion until a net force acts on it |
| Newton's 2nd Law | an object with accelerate in the direction of the net force applied to it |
| Newton's 3rd Law | for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction |
| Two things needed to determine gravity | distance, mass |
| Two things needed to determine accelertation | mass, force |
| Example given in class of Newton's first law | Wear Your Seatbelt! |
| Two things needed to determine force | mass, acceleration |
| Friction | slows things down, wears things down, and creates heat |
| Two types of friction | Static and Kinetic |
