  1. 1. a force that makes a body follow a curved path
  2. 3. the acceleration of an object depends upon two variables – the net force acting on the object and the mass of the object.
  3. 5. those that are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction
  4. 7. refers to the quantity of motion that an object has.
  5. 9. the force that resists motion when the surface of one object comes in contact with the surface of another.
  6. 12. the force acting on an object that is moving through air flowing in the opposite direction
  7. 13. state of a body that moves freely in any manner in the presence of gravity
  8. 15. the measure of the force of gravity acting on a body

  1. 2. for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
  2. 4. acceleration, rate at which velocity changes with time, in terms of both speed and direction.
  3. 6. An object at rest remains at rest, or if in motion, remains in motion at a constant velocity unless acted on by a net external force.
  4. 8. forces that are not equal in magnitude and may or may not act in the same direction
  5. 9. The push or pull on an object with mass causes it to change its velocity
  6. 10. the natural tendency of objects in motion to stay in motion and objects at rest to stay at rest, unless a force causes the velocity to change
  7. 11. the quantity of matter within a given object
  8. 14. the universal force of attraction acting between all bodies of matter.
