Any action that tends to maintain or alter the motion of a body or to distort it.
What is force?
The resistance created by any two objects when sliding against each other.
What is sliding friction?
The maximum velocity attainable by an object as it falls through a fluid.
What is terminal velocity?
The "power" when a body is moving, meaning how much force it can have on another body.
What is momentum?
Pulls objects with mass toward each other.
What is gravitational force?
The international unit of measure for force.
What is a newton?
The force resisting the motion of a rolling body on a surface.
What is rolling friction?
A fundamental concept that unveils the captivating nature of objects propelled into the air.
What is projectile motion?
In an isolated system the total momentum of two or more bodies acting upon each other remains constant unless an external force is applied.
What is law of conservation of momentum?
A net force that acts on an object to keep it moving along a circular path.
What is centripetal force?
The sum of all the forces acting on an object.
What is net force?
The force that opposes a motion that takes place within fluids or in between fluids.
What is fluid friction?
A property of matter by which it remains at rest or in unchanging motion unless acted on by some external force.
What is inertia?
Deals with the electromagnetic force that occurs between electrically charged particles.
What is electromagnetic force?
The force that resists the sliding or rolling of one solid object over another.
What is friction?
The force that acts in the opposite direction to an object moving through the air.
What is air resistance?
Quantitative measure of inertia, a fundamental property of all matter.
What is mass?
One of the four fundamental forces of nature.
What is strong nuclear force?
A force that keeps an object at rest.
What is static friction?
The universal force of attraction acting between all matter.
What is gravity?
A measure of how heavy a person or object it.
What is weight?
A fundamental force of nature that underlies some forms of radioactivity.
What is weak nuclear force?
