Term
| law of universal gravitation |
|
Definition
| This says that the gravitational force increases as one or both masses increase and the gravitational force decreases as the distance between the masses increases |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A quantity defined as the product of the mass and velocity of an object (p=mv) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The force that can give a mass of 1kg and acceleration of 1 m/s2 |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| 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 |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| An object at rest remains at rest and an object in motion maintains it's velocity unless it experiences an unbalanced force |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| For every action force, there is an equal and opposite reaction force (the law of action and reaction) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The measure of the amount of matter in an object. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| This is the gravitational force an object experiences because of its mass |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The curved path that an object follows when thrown, launched, or otherwise projected near the surface of the Earth; the motion of objects that are moving in two dimensions under the influence of gravity. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The motion of a body when only the force of gravity is acting on the body. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The unbalanced force acting on an object equals the object's mass times it's acceleration. (F=ma) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The constant velocity of a falling object when the force of air resistance is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force of gravity |
