SHMS 8th Grade Science Vocab 4

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
Acceleration   The rate at which velocity changes over time.  
🗑
Circuit   A closed path through which a current can flow.  
🗑
Series Circuit   A circuit that only has one path for energy to flow.  
🗑
Parallel Circuit   A circuit in which current follows more than one path.  
🗑
Force   A push or pull on an object.  
🗑
Inertia   The tendency of an object to resist change in its speed or direction.  
🗑
Friction   The resistance of motion between two objects.  
🗑
Net Force   The overall force on an object when all forces acting on the object are added together.  
🗑
Velocity   The speed in a given direction.  
🗑
Speed   The distance an object travels in a unit of time. (d/t)  
🗑
Weight   The force of gravity on the mass of an object.  
🗑
Newton   The unit of measurement for force. It is equal to the amount of force needed to accelerate 1 kilogram of mass at 1 meter per second per second.  
🗑
Newton's 1st Law of Motion   An object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion at a constant velocity unless acted on by an unbalanced force.  
🗑
Newton's 2nd Law of Motion   The net force on an object is equal to its mass times acceleration.  
🗑
Newton's 3rd Law of Motion   If one object exerts a force on another object, then the second object exerts a force of equal strength in the opposite direction. (For every action there is an equal or opposite reaction.)  
🗑
Gravity   The force of attraction between two objects based on their masses and distance between them.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
