Two types of kinetic friction

Sliding and Rolling kinetic friction

100

An object at rest remains at rest, and an object in motion remains in motion at constant speed and in a straight line unless acted on by an unbalanced force.

Newton's First Law

100

The force that pulls you toward your pencil is the force of ____

Gravity

100

When gravity is the only force acting on an object, the object is in _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Free Fall

100

A push or a pull

Force

200

When a force is applied to an object but does not cause the object to move

Static friction

200

What is Newton's first law sometimes called

Law of Inertia

200

How does the law of universal gravitation explain why astronauts on the moon bounce when they walk?

The moon has less gravity then Earth so the astronauts weigh less there.
200

Newton;s third law states that objects exert ___ and ____ forces on each other.

Equal and Opposite

200

Any change in motion is caused by a ____

Force

300

Friction between moving surfaces

Kinetic friction

300

The acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of force applied.

Newton's Second Law

300

Newton summarized his ideas about gravity in a law now called ______

Law of Universal Gravitation

300

A moving object's ____ depends on the object's mass and velocity

Momentum

300

The force that opposes motion between two surfaces that are in contact is ______

Friction

400

What are two factors that affect the amount of friction between two surfaces?

Roughness and Force

400

Which of Newton's laws of motion describes the motion of an object that has a net force of 0

First Law of Motion

400
How does the gravitational force between two objects that are close together compare to the gravitational force between two objects as they move farther apart?

The closer one has more gravitational pull on each other and the other one is decreasing the gravitational pull on each other.

400

The fluid friction that opposes the motion of objects through air is known as _ _ _  _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Air Resistance

400

Force is expressed by a unit called _____

Newtons

500

The tendency of an object to resist being moved or, if the object is moving, to resist a change in speed or direction until an outside force acts on the object.

Inertia

500

Whenever one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first

Newton's Third Law

500

All objects in the universe attract each other through gravitational force.

Law of Universal Gravitation

500

The velocity at which a falling object travels when the force of air resistance exactly matches the downward force of gravity is called the _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _  _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 

Terminal  Velocity

500

The force of attraction between two objects that is due to their masses is _____

Gravity
