| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| friction | force that opposes the motion of an object |
| gravity | force of attraction between all objects in the universe |
| force | a push or a pull |
| vacuum | empty space |
| lubricants | materials that reduce friction |
| barometer | instrument used to measure air pressure |
| air pressure | pressure caused by the force exerted by Earth's atmosphere |
| pressure | force per unit area |
| newton | SI unit of force |
| unbalanced forces | forces that cause a change in the motion of an object |
| Bernoulli's principle | as the speed of a fluid increases, its pressure decreases |
| balanced forces | forces that are equal in size but opposite in direction |
| terminal velocity | speed at which air resistance and gravity acting on a falling object are equal |
| air resistance | force that opposes the movement of an object in air |
