Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mass is a measure of an object's resistance to acceleration.

Answer: M
 Weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity, which is proportional to the object's mass.

Answer: A
 Centripetal force is the force that keeps an object moving in a circular path.

Answer: E
 Kinetic friction is the force that opposes motion between two surfaces that are in contact and moving relative to each other.

Answer: J
 Static friction is the force that opposes motion between two surfaces that are in contact but not moving relative to each other.

Answer: K
 Terminal speed is the speed at which the drag force on an object is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force causing the object to move, resulting in a constant velocity.

Answer: L
 Tides are the cyclic rising and falling of Earth's ocean surface caused by the gravitational forces exerted by the Moon and the Sun.
