Projectile Motion | the curved path of a thrown object near Earth's surface |
Weight | a measure of the gravitational force exerted on an object |
Orbit | the path of one object around another in space |
Centripetal Force | an unbalanced force that causes objects to move in a circular path |
Free Fall | the motion of a body when only gravity acts on it |
Mass | a measure of the amount of matter in an object |
Gravity | a force of attraction between objects that is due to their masses and the distance between the objects |
Terminal Velocity | the constant velocity of a falling object when the force of gravity is balanced by air resistance |
Air Resistance | the force that opposes the motion of objects through air |
