force and motion

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
motion   the state in which one objects distance from another is changing  
🗑
reference point   a place or object used for comparison to determine if an object is in motion  
🗑
instantaneous speed   shows your speed in an instant  
🗑
acceleration   the rate at which velocity changes refers to increasing speed decreasing speed or changing direction  
🗑
force   a push or pull  
🗑
newton   the SI units used for force acting on an object at one time  
🗑
unbalanced forces   can cause an object to start, stop or change direction  
🗑
balanced forces   equal forces acting in opposite direction  
🗑
friction   the force that two surfaces exert on each other when they rub together  
🗑
static friction   friction that acts on objects that are not moving  
🗑
gravity   a force that pulls objects toward each other  
🗑
sliding friction   occurs when two solid surfaces slide over each other  
🗑
fluid friction   when a solid object moves through a fluid  
🗑
rolling friction   when an object rolls over a object  
🗑
weight=   mass x force of gravity acceleration  
🗑
free fall   when an object falls the only force acting upon it is gravity  
🗑
terminal velocity   the greatest velocity a falling object reaches for every is an object falls its velocity increases by 9.8 m/s  
🗑
newtons #1 law   an object at rest will stay at rest. an moving object will continue to move unless it is acted upon a unbalanced force  
🗑
inertia   the tendency of an object at rest to change in motion. inertia depends on more mass-more inertia .  
🗑
newtons #2 law   acceleration depends on an objects mass and on the net force acting on the object  
🗑
acceleration=   net force/mass  
🗑
newtons #3 law   if one object exerts a force on another object exerting force of equal force in the opposite direction ><  
🗑
paired forces   for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction  
🗑
momentum   a moving object can be determined by multiplying its mass(x) its velocity  
🗑
momentum=   mass x velocity  
🗑
law conservation of momentum   the total momentum of any group of objects remains the same (is conserved) unless outside forces act upon objects  
🗑
centripetal force    
🗑


   

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.
