| 3. | a coordinate system in which the position of the object(s) is measured |
| 7. | speed at a given point in time |
| 8. | states that when one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts a force the the first object that is equal in strength and in the opposite direction; Newton's.......... |
| 9. | a push or a pull; this quantity is equal to an object's mass times its acceleration |
| 10. | acceleration (in m/s/s) = net force (in newtons)/ mass (in kg); Newton's.......... |
| 12. | a German meteorologist who, in the early 1900s, developed the theory of Continental Drift (all Earth’s continents/ crust/ lithosphere were once part of a single landmass called Pangea and that they slowly move on top of the mantle) |
| 14. | forces on a object that combine to give a zero net force and do not change the motion of the object |
| 16. | the total displacement divided by the time |
| 17. | the distance and direction of an objects change in position from the starting point |
| 19. | this is equal to the change in velocity divided by the length of the time interval over which the change in velocity occurred; units are meters / second / second ( m/s/s) |
| 20. | occurs when an object changes its position relative to a point of reference |
| 21. | British scientist (b. 1642 - d. 1727) who came up with rules that describe the effects of forces on the motion of objects |
| 22. | this quantity is equal to an object's rate of motion multiplied by its time in motion |
