______________.
___________________ a simplified version of a physical system that would be too complicated to analyze in full detail.
___________________ Experiments require __________ and generally use __________ to describe the results of measurements.
___________________ Any number that is used to describe a physical phenomenon quantitatively is
___________________ the velocity at a specific instant of time or specific point along the path.
___________________ describes the rate of change of velocity with time.
___________________ The simplest kind of accelerated motion is ________________ with constant acceleration.
___________________ The constant acceleration of a freely falling body is called the _____________.
___________________ A ____________ is anybody that is given an initial velocity and then follows a path determined entirely
by the effects of gravitational acceleration and air resistance.

___________________ The path followed by a projectile is called its __________________.


___________________ is always confined to a vertical plane determined by the direction of the initial velocity This is because the
acceleration due to gravity is purely vertical;
___________________ *___________________* can’t accelerate the projectile sideways.
___________________ projectile motion is _______________.

___________________ The principles of dynamics were clearly stated for the first time by ______________ (1642–1727); today
we call them ___________________.

___________________ It consists of a ________________ enclosed in a case with a pointer attached to one end.
___________________ Every object continues in its state of rest, or of uniform velocity in a straight line, as long as no net force
acts on it.
___________________ A body acted on by no net force has a constant velocity (which may be zero) and zero acceleration.
___________________ The tendency of an object to maintain its state of rest or of uniform velocity in a straight line is
called_______________.
___________________ Newton’s first law is often called the _____________.

___________________ A _________ exerted on an object may make its velocity increase. Or, if the net force is in a direction
opposite to the motion, that force will reduce the object’s velocity.
___________________ The acceleration of an object is ____________ to the net force acting on it, and is ____________ to the
object’s mass.
___________________ The acceleration of an object is ____________ to the net force acting on it, and is ____________ to the
object’s mass.
___________________ characterizes the inertial properties of a body.
___________________ Experiments show that whenever two bodies interact, the two forces that they exert on each other are
always equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
___________________ _____________ is a force exerted on a body by the pull of the earth.
___________________ Galileo claimed that all objects dropped near the surface of the Earth would fall with the same
acceleration, if air resistance was negligible. The force that causes this acceleration is called the
______________.

rough on a microscopic scale.
