  1. 3. Describes the fall of an object on which only the force of gravity is acting
  2. 5. A change in an object’s position relative to a reference point
  3. 6. Rate of change of velocity; can be calculated by dividing the change in the velocity by the time it takes the change to occur
  4. 11. The maximum speed an object will reach when falling through a substance, such as air
  5. 13. A force that is directed toward the center of a curved or circular path
  6. 16. A push or pull exerted on an object
  7. 17. Distance and direction of an object’s change in position from the starting point
  8. 18. States that when one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts the force on the first object that is equal in strength and in the opposite direction
  9. 19. Force that opposes the motion of objects that move through air

  1. 1. Acceleration of an object toward the center of a curved or circular path
  2. 2. Tendency of an object to resist any change in its motion
  3. 4. Force that opposes the sliding motion between two touching surfaces
  4. 7. States that an object moving at a constant velocity keeps moving at that velocity unless an unbalanced force acts on it
  5. 8. Distance an object travels per unit of time
  6. 9. States that the acceleration of an object is in the same direction as the net force on the object, and that the acceleration equals the the net force divided by its mass
  7. 10. Attractive force between two objects that depends on the masses of the objects and the distance between them
  8. 12. Gravitational force exerted on an object
  9. 14. The speed and direction of a moving object
  10. 15. The length an object travels, measured in SI units of meters.
