Question 7

Acceleration

Answer 7

The change of its velocity

Question 8

Force

Answer 8

A push or pull

Question 9

Net Force

Answer 15

The force that opposes the motion of two surfaces sliding past each other

Question 16

Air Resistance

Answer 16

opposes the motion of objects that move through the air

Question 17

Gravity

Answer 17

It Is an attractive force between any two objects that depends on the masses of the objects and the distance between them

Question 18

Weight

Answer 18

The gravitational force exerted on an object is called the weight.

Question 19

Centripetal Acceleration

Answer 19

Acceleration towards the center of a curved or circular path is called this

Question 20

Answer 20

The net force exerted toward the cent of a curved path is called this

Question 21

Newton’s Third Law of Motion

Answer 21

When on object experts a force on a second object, the second one exerts a force on the first that is equal and strength in opposite in direction

Question 22

Momentum

Answer 22

It is the product of its mass and velocity
