| terminalvelocity | | the unbalanced force acting on an object equals the objects mass times its acceleration |
| acceleration | | the maximum velocity reached by a falling object that occurs when the resistance of the medium is equal to the force due to gravity |
| secondlaw | | an object at rest remains at rest and an object in motion maintains its velocity unless it experiences an unbalanced force |
| inertia | | In the meter-kilogram-second system, the unit of force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram one meter per second per second, equal to 100,000 dynes. |
| weight | | the measure of the quantity of matter in an object |
| freefall | | the change in velocity divided by the time intervalin which the change occured |
| velocity | | A measure of the heaviness of an object |
| force | | the tendency of an object to remain at rest or in motion with a constant velocity |
| mass | | The rate of speed of action or occurrence |
| newtons | | the cause of an acceleration, or change in an objects velocity |
| thirdlaw | | the motion of a body when only the force of gravity is acting on it |
| firstlaw | | for every action force there is an equal and opposite reaction force |
