Gravity depends on what two measures? 

Mass and distance between objects. 

200

This is the defining characteristic which separates distance from displacement (must say which is which to get points). 

Direction, Displacement includes direction.

When two forces acting on an object are balance, the net force exerted on that object is ________. 

0/zero

200

This law specifies the direction of an object's acceleration. 

Newton's Second Law

Anything that is thrown or shot through the air can be considered a ___________. 

Projectile. 

300

Speed which does not vary is called ______________ speed. 

Constant 

300

This is the rate of change in velocity, which occurs when an object changes speed, direction, or both.

Rolling 

400

Momentum is dependent on which two measures? 

Mass and velocity

Momentum = mass x velocity

400
Projectile motions have both _________ and ___________ motion.
