| MASS AND DISTANCES EFFECT ON GRAVITY |
|
Definition
| THE FORCE OF GRAVITY INCREASES WITH GREATER MASS AND DECREASES WITH GREATER DISTANCE. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| GRAVITATIONAL FORCE EXERTED ON A PERSON OR OBJECT AT THE SURFACE OF PLANETS. |

| WEIGHT = MASS X ACCELERATION DUE TO GRAVITY |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| INSTANCE WHEN THE ONLY FORCE ACTING ON AN OBJECT IS GRAVITY. THE OBJECT IS SAID TO BE IN A FREE FALL. IT IS ACCELERATING. THE FORCE OF GRAVITY ALONE CAUSES OBJECT TO INTO A DOWNWARD DIRECTION. |

Term
| NEWTON'S FIRST LAW OF MOTION |
|
Definition
| AN OBJECT WILL REMAIN AT REST OR IN MOTION AT A CONSTANT VELOCITY UNLESS ITS IS ACTED UPON BY AN UNBALANCED FORCE. AN UNBALANCED FORCE WILL CAUSE AN OBJECT TO SPEED UP, SLOW DOWN, OR CHANGE DIRECTION. |

| NEWTON'S SECOND LAW OF MOTION |
|
Definition
| IF ONE OBJECT EXERTS FORCE ON ANOTHER OBJECT, THEN THE SECOND OBJECT EXERTS FORCE OF EQUAL STRENGTH IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION ON THE FIRST OBJECT. |
|
|
Term
| NEWTON'S THIRD LAW OF MOTION |
|
Definition
| ONE OBJECT EXERTS FORCE ON ANOTHER OBJECT, THE THE SECOND OBJECT EXERTS FORCE OF EQUAL STRENGTH IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF THE FIRST. FOR EVERY ACTION THERE IS AN EQUAL BUT OPPOSITE REACTION. |
