|
centripetal force
|
the force that causes an object to move in a circular path
|
|
|
Newton's Second Law
|
the acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of force applied
|
|
|
Newton's First Law
|
An object at rest remains at rest-- and an object in motion remains in motion-- unless acted upon by an outside force
|
|
|
free fall
|
the condition of an object when gravity is the only force acting on it
|
|
|
terminal velocity
|
the constant velocity of a falling object when the upward force of air resistance equals the downward force of gravity
( constant velocity ) |
|
|
acceleration
|
the rate at which velocity changes
|
|
|
momentum
|
a property of a moving object that depends on the object's mass and velocity
|
|
|
inertia
|
the tendency of all objects to resist any change in motion
|
|
|
projectile motion
|
the curved path an object follows when it is thrown near the surface of the earth
|
|
|
Newton's Third Law
|
Whenever in object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first object
