Objects tend to continue the motion they already have unless they are acted on by forces

Is a push or pull, or any action that has the ability to change motion

Property of an object that resists change in its motion

Metric unit of force

Is used to describe the total of all forces acting on an object 

The rate of change in velocity; at which your speed increases

Describe the motion that is slowing down 

Relates the net force on an object, the mass of the object, and the acceleration 

It is accelerating due to the force of gravity and no other forces are acting on it 

Objects in free fall on Earth accelerate downward at 9.8 m/sec2 

Is speed with direction; rate of motion and the direction 

Force of gravity on an object (mass* acc of gravity)

Acts against the direction of the object's motion/ fluid friction opposing the motion of an object moving through it

The maximum speed reached by an object in free fall; the speed at which the forces of gravity and air resistance are equal 

A line is the ration of the rise over run
