Question | Answer |
---|---|
friction | force that opposes the motion of an object |
gravity | force of attraction between all objects in the universe |
force | a push or a pull |
vacuum | empty space |
lubricants | materials that reduce friction |
barometer | instrument used to measure air pressure |
air pressure | pressure caused by the force exerted by Earth's atmosphere |
pressure | force per unit area |
newton | SI unit of force |
unbalanced forces | forces that cause a change in the motion of an object |
Bernoulli's principle | as the speed of a fluid increases, its pressure decreases |
balanced forces | forces that are equal in size but opposite in direction |
terminal velocity | speed at which air resistance and gravity acting on a falling object are equal |
air resistance | force that opposes the movement of an object in air |
