forces and motion

QuestionAnswer
gravity an invisible force that pulls objects toward each other.
mass quantitative measure of inertia, a fundamental property of all matter
weight the force acting on an object due to gravity
pull A force that changes the direction of an object towards you
push a force that causes an object to move away from the person who is applying the force from its state of rest
Friction the force that causes a moving object to slow down when it is touching another object.
Motion the action or process of moving or of changing place or position; movement.
Inertia the property of matter by which it retains its state of rest or its velocity along a straight line so long as it is not acted upon by an external force.
Speed the rate at which someone or something moves or travels.
Position the place where someone or something is in relation to other people or things.
Axis the imaginary straight line that something (such as the Earth) turns around.
Unbalanced Force are not equal, and they always cause the motion of an object to change the speed and/or direction that it is moving.
Acceleration the rate at which the speed of a moving object changes over time
Direction a course along which someone or something moves Velocity
Air resistance Air resistance is the force acting on an object that is moving through air flowing in the opposite direction.
Momentum the quantity of motion of a moving body, measured as a product of its mass and velocity.
Resist withstand the action or effect of.
Deceleration reduction in speed or rate.
Newton’s First Law every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force.
Newton’s Second Law Newton's second law states that the acceleration of an object is directly related to the net force and inversely related to its mass. Acceleration of an object depends on two things, force and mass.
Newton’s Third Law for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
