A change in an object's position relative to a reference point.
motion
displacement
momentum
acceleration
The distance and direction of an object's change in position from the starting point.
displacement
motion
velocity
momentum
The speed and direction of a moving object.
velocity
momentum
acceleration
motion
Property of a moving object that equals its mass times its velocity.
momentum
acceleration
motion
displacement
Rate of change of velocity that can be calculated by dividing the change in the velocity by the time it takes the change to occur.
acceleration
momentum
displacement
motion
Acceleration of an object toward the center of a curved or circular path.
centripetal acceleration
displacement
velocity
momentum
A push or pull on an object
force
friction
gravity
field
Sum of all the forces that are acting on an object.
net force
friction
weight
gravity
Force that opposes the sliding motion between two touching surfaces.
friction
gravity
field
weight
Attractive force between two objects that depends on the masses of the objects and the distance between them.
gravity
field
friction
force
A region of space in which every point has a physical quantity, such as a force.
field
gravity
friction
net force
Gravitational force exerted on an object.
weight
gravity
friction
field
States that an object moving at a constant velocity keeps moving at that velocity unless an unbalanced force acts on it.
Newton's first law of motion
Newton's second law of motion
Newton's third law of motion
States that the acceleration of an object is in the same direction as the net force on the object, and that the acceleration equals the net force divided by its mass.
Newton's second law of motion
Newton's first law of motion
Newton's third law of motion
States that when one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts a force on the first object that is equal in strength and in the opposite direction.
Newton's third law of motion
Newton's second law of motion
Newton's first law of motion
Force that opposes the motion of objects that move through air.
air resistance
gravity
friction
terminal velocity
The maximum speed an object will reach when falling through a substance, such as air.
terminal velocity
free fall
air resistance
centripetal force
Describes the fall of an object on which only the force of gravity is acting.
free fall
terminal velocity
momentum
acceleration
A force that is directed toward the center of a curved or circular path.
centripetal force
centripetal acceleration
velocity
free fall
States that if no external forces act on a group of objects, the total momentum does not change.
law of conservation of momentum
Newton's first law of motion
Newton's second law of motion
Newton's third law of motion
