  1. 2. An object’s amount of matter. Does not automatically change when the object’s location changes. Objects with more of this quantity have more inertia.
  2. 6. An object’s mass multiplied by the acceleration of the object equals the net force acting on the object.
  3. 9. An attractive force existing between objects with mass. Causes objects on Earth to accelerate at 9.8 meters/second^2 toward the center of the Earth.
  4. 13. A vector diagram depicting an object and the magnitude and direction of the forces that act on the object.
  5. 15. An object’s property that makes the object resist changing its state of motion. More massive objects have more of this property.
  6. 16. A vector quantity describing the rate of displacement for an object.
  7. 18. An object that moves because of and only experiences the force of gravity and no other forces.
  8. 19. A pulling force that a rope or other flexible material exerts or carries.
  9. 20. A force an object generates by pushing or accelerating air. When the gas is pushed in one direction, the force moves the object in the opposite direction.

  1. 1. A vector quantity (magnitude and direction) indicating how far an object has moved from an initial position, regardless of how much the object traveled to reach the final position.
  2. 3. Unless experiencing an unbalanced force, an object will keep its original state of motion, such as staying still or moving in a straight line at a constant rate.
  3. 4. When two objects act on each other, the magnitude of the forces they exert on each other is the same, but the directions of their forces are opposite to one another. The first action force will always experience a reaction force.
  4. 5. Measures how much gravity pulls an object and changes according to location. Is found by multiplying an object’s mass with the acceleration due to gravity at the object’s location.
  5. 7. A scalar quantity and the rate at which an object moves a distance.
  6. 8. The energy that an object has gained from moving to an elevated position.
  7. 10. Requires an unbalanced force to happen and describes the rate at which velocity changes for an object. An object undergoes this process when changing directions, speeding up, or slowing down.
  8. 11. The energy that an object has because the object is moving.
  9. 12. A force that stops an object from passing through another solid object and acts perpendicular to a surface.
  10. 14. A force that creates resistance for the motion of objects touching and moving relative to each other. When an object moves over another object in one direction, the force acts on the object in the opposite direction.
  11. 17. A scalar quantity (magnitude only) measuring the total path length an object takes to get from an initial point to a final point.
