Force and Motion

the motion of a body when only the force of gravity is acting on a body

• centripetal force

• freefall

• velocity

• momentum

a real force that counteracts the centrifugal force and prevents the object from flying outwards and keeping it moving instead with a uniform speed along a circular path

• inertia

• distance

• centripetal force

• traveling

Moving from one position to another

• traveling

• freefall

• newton

• gravity

Law of Inertia - an object in motion tends to stay in motion and an object at rest stays at rest unless acted upon by an outside force

• gravity

• velocity

• axis

• Newton's First Law

The constant velocity of a falling object when the force of air resistance is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force of gravity

• momentum

• speed

• acceleration

• terminal velocity

SI unit of force

• Newton

• mass

• direction

• friction

Speed in a given direction

• force

• speed

• velocity

• freefall

the curved path that an object follows when thrown, launched or otherwise projected near the surface of the Earth

• Scientific Method

• constant

• projectile motion

• position

the combination of all forces acting on an object

• velocity

• Net Force

• acceleration

• gravity

a push or pull

• Force
