motion under the influence of gravity only

• acceleration
• free fall
• speed
• velocity

How much ground an object has covered

• acceleration
• free fall
• speed
• velocity
• distance

An object’s overall change in position

• displacement
• distance
• acceleration
• velocity
• speed

the resistive force that opposes motion or attempted motion between objects in contact

• force
• friction
• net force
• Newton
• kilogram

the speed at which the acceleration of a falling object stops because air resistance balances the object's weight

• terminal speed
• speed limit
• 100 m/s
• 3.14 m/s
• 100 mi/h
