Action of changing location or position

Quantification from which horizontal, vertical, and projectile motions can be derived

Two main classes of motion according to Aristotle

Type of motion where objects move and return to their natural state based on material or composition

Classification of Vertical Motion according to Aristotle

Reason smoke goes up in the air in Aristotelian physics

Two movements that largely define the Aristotelian concept of natural motion

Requirement to maintain horizontal motion in a violent motion context

Motion of an object that is parallel to the ground until it is time to fall back into the ground

Two classes of motion combined in Aristotelian projectile motion

Italian physicist considered as the "Father of Modern Physics"

Factor that objects would fall depending on in the absence of resistance

Behavior of an unimpeded object in horizontal motion according to Galileo

Necessity of an external force to maintain unimpeded horizontal motion

Combination of a uniform motion in the horizontal direction and uniformly accelerated motion in the vertical direction

Location where Galileo dropped two different weights of cannon balls

Tool Galileo used to measure the acceleration of an object

Distance travelled by an object divided by the time taken to travel the distance

Value by which a ball rolling down an inclined plane increases its speed every second

Scientist who developed the first concepts of laws of motion after his experiments

Natural state of an object according to Galileo

Tendency of objects to resist motion

Scientist who expanded Galileo's work and came up with the Three Laws of Motion

An object at rest stays at rest and object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force

Property that is proportional to an object's inertia

Ability of the object to resist motion

Types of Inertia

Condition where an object will stay in place unless something moves it

Condition where an object will continue at the same speed until a force acts on it

Condition where an object will stay moving in the same direction unless a force acts on it

Defined as a push or pull

Unit used to measure force

Mathematical expression for 1 newton

Force that opposes motion between any surfaces that are touching
