Front

what are g forces?

Back

acceleration on a body related to acceleration of gravity

Front

The scientific law that states "for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction."

Back

Newton's 3rd Law

Front

The force that happens when two surfaces rub against each other (and opposes motion)

Back

rolling friction

Front

The force that pulls objects toward each other (depends on the object's mass and distance from each other)

Back

gravity

Front

The scientific law that "acceleration depends on the net force acting on the object and on the object's mass."
