1st lawinertia law
2nd lawmass, acceleration, and force - formula: f=ma (fishy simbol- acceleration) law
3rd lawaction reaction forces law
inertiatendancy of an object to resist change in motion
weightthe gravitational force between you and Earth
forcea push or a pull
ballanced forcetwo or more equal forces whose effects cancel each other out and do not change the motion of an object
unballanced forcetwo or more unequal forces acting on an object, causing the object to accelerate
net forcecombination of all forces acting on an object
terminal velocitythe constant speed a falling object reaches when air resistance balances the force of gravity.
gravityatractive force between any two objects in the universe
weightlessnessno forces acting on one thing
frictionrubbing force that acts against the motion between two touching surfaces and always slows an object down
free fallonly one force is acting on the object= gravity
two factors of gravity1.mass of object 2. distance between them
two factors that create an orbit1. gravity 2. inertia two factors
