Friction and Gravity
100
Any object that orbits another object in space.
What is a satellite?
100
When the distance from another object is changing.
What is motion?
100
If the net force on an object is zero, the motion of the object does not change.
What is Newton's First Law?
100
The force that two surfaces exert on each other when they rub against each other.
What is friction?
200
A celestial body orbiting the earth or another planet.
What is a satellite?
200
A place or object used for comparison to determine if something is in motion.
What is a reference point?
200
The tendency of an object to resist a change in its motion.
What is inertia?
200
A measure of the amount of matter in an object.
What is mass?
300
speed= distance/time
What is the equation for the speed of an object?
300
The acceleration of an object is equal to the net force acting on the object divided by the object's mass.
What is Newton's Second Law?
300
The force of gravity on a person or object at the surface of the planet.
What is weight?
400
The rate at which an object is moving at a given instant time.
What is instantaneous speed?
400
Any force that causes an object to move in a circular path.
What is centripetal force?
400
When the only force acting on an object is gravity.
What is free fall?
500
slope= rise/run
What is the equation for slope?
500
When one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal force in the opposite direction on the first object.
What is Newton's Third Law?
500
Objects falling through air experience this type of fluid friction.
What is air resistance?
