Q

any two massas exert an ____ force on each other

A

attractive

17
Q

the strength of the force depends on the ___ of the object and the ___ between them

A

mass - distance

18
Q

the gravitationa force exerted on an object

19
Q

weight is not the same as ___

20
Q

as long as an object is ____ ____ nothing exerts an upward force on it, causing ___

A

free falling - weightlessness

21
Q

if the earth had no air then objects would fall at the ____ ___

22
Q

acceleration caused by gravity is? (called g force)

23
Q

a force that opposes motion of an object through air

A

air resistance

24
Q

fluid friction __ as an objects speed ___.

A

increases- increases

25
the amount of air resistance on an object depends on the ..
speed, size, and shape of an object
26
as an object falls it
accelerates
27
as an object falls faster, the force of air resistance ___
increases
28
maximum speed at witch an object can fall
terminal velocity
29
Newtons First Law
an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion until an outside force causes it to stop
30
Newtons second law
says that force, mass , and acceleration are all connected
31
the acceleration of an object is determined by the
size of the net force and the mass of an object
32
equation for net force is
F= ma
33
force is measured in
newtons
34
For every action force, their is an opposite and equal reaction force
Newtons 3rd law
