Flashcards

Perpetual Uniform Motion

Motion at constant speed and direction in space requires opposed forces.

Resisting Forces

Forces that oppose the motion of an object, affecting speed and direction.

Types of Resisting Forces

The three main types: air resistance, rolling resistance, and sliding resistance.

Air Resistance Formula

Calculate air resistance using: F_{ra} = 1/2 * CD * P * A * V².
