Vocabulary
Newton’s Laws of
Motion
The rate at which
velocity changes
(Acceleration)
Friction
Falling Objects
A force that opposes
the motion of objects
that are not moving
(Static Friction)
An attracting force
that acts between any
two masses…
(Gravity)
A push or
pull that
acts on an
object
(Force)
Every action has an
equal and opposite
reaction
(Newton’s 3rd Law)
When you push a book
across a table, it
doesn’t go flying
through the air
because of gravity
and…
(Sliding Friction)
The amount of
matter in an
object
(Mass)
The tendency of an
object to resist a
change in its motion
(Inertia)
If you want to lower
the friction, you can
change it into the
lowest form of
friction, which is…
(Rolling Friction)
The force of
gravity
acting on an
object
(Weight)
Acceleration equals…
(Net force / Mass)
This type of friction
opposes the motion of
objects through
liquids and gases
(Fluid Friction)
The overall
force acting
on an object
after all the
forces are
combined
(Net force)
An object at rest
tends to stay at rest,
while an object in
motion tends to stay
in motion, unless some
outside force acts on
it
(Newton’s 1st Law)
You must apply more
force to move an
object with greater
mass. If you apply
equal force to two
objects, the one with
greater mass will
This type of
friction, with the
help of gravity,
keeps heavy objects
from moving when you
push them
(Static Friction)
The curved motion of
a thrown object
resulting from its
initial forward
velocity and the
downward vertical
force of gravity
(Projectile Motion)
The product of an
object’s mass and
velocity; having a
lot of this makes an
object difficult to
stop
(Momentum)
The constant speed
and direction of a
falling object when
the force of air
resistance equals the
force of gravity
(Terminal Velocity)
Newton’s Law of
Universal Gravitation
states that the
greater the mass of
an object, the
greater its…
(Gravitational Force
/ Gravity)
Newton’s Law of
Universal Gravitation
states that that
farther away the
object being
attracted, the
(greater OR lower)
Another word
for movement
(Motion)
The speed and
direction an
object is
moving
(Velocity)
This type of fluid
friction increases
with speed and
surface area of the
moving object
(Air Resistance)
