Any motion in which an object is moving along a curved path

• circular motion
• momentum
• downward motion

In a(n) _______________ collision, the colliding objects bounce off each other.

• elastic
• inelastic
• momentum

The gravitational force exerted on an object

• mass
• pressure
• weight

The law that states that when an object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts a force of the same size but in the opposite direction on the first object

• Newton's first law of motion
• Newton's second law of motion
• Newton's third law of motion

A push or pull on one object by another that is touching it

• contact force
• noncontact force
• motion

A measure of how hard it is to stop a moving object

• motion
• noncontact force
• momentum

A push or pull on an object

• force
• inertia
• mass

The tendency of an object to resist a change in its motion

• motion
• force
• inertia

The law that states that the total momentum of a group of objects stays the same unless outside forces act on the objects

• Newton's first law of motion
• Law of conservation of momentum
• Newton's second law of motion

The forces two objects apply to each other

• noncontact force
• inertia
• force pair
