What is an action force?
The force that Newton discovered.
What is gravity?
The combination of all forces acting on an object.
What is a net force?
A form of friction that slows down an object moving in the air.
What is air resistance?
This type of force always accompanies an action force.
What is a reaction force?

What is friction?
The formula for calculating force.
What is F=ma?
Action and reaction forces are called this type of pair.
What are force pairs?
The type of math that Newton discovered.
What is calculus?

What is a mathematician or inventor?
State Newton's first law.

An object in motion, stays in motion.
Unless acted upon by an outside force.
State Newton's second law.
An object acted upon by a force will accelerate in the direction of the force
Force = mass x acceleration
