**Completion of this assignment is going to require that you describe the following force terms: normal force, friction force, net
force, gravitational force.
**A force is a push or pull between two or more objects of mass.

******FURTHER UNDERSTNDING**** THIS WILL BE ON YOUR TEST!
The gravitational attraction between two objects is dependent on____________________ and ____________
As an object falls toward Earth, air resistance due to the atmosphere gradually increases until acceleration of
the object is equal to 0 m/s. What has the objected reached?
As a satellite is launched into orbit, how does Earth’s gravity affect the satellite as it travels away from Earth?
