Force, Motion, Newton's Laws

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   Change in velocity divided by the amount of time needed for that change to take place; occurs when an object speeds up, slows down or changes directions  
🗑
Balanced Force   Describes forces that are equal but opposite in directions; cancel each other out and no change in motion occurs  
🗑
Displacement   Measures the distance and direction from a starting point to an ending point  
🗑
Distance   The entire path an object travels  
🗑
Force   A push or a pull; has a size and direction  
🗑
Friction   Any force that resists motion  
🗑
Gravity   Force of attraction between all objects in the universe  
🗑
Inertia   An object’s tendency to remain at rest or keep moving with constant velocity  
🗑
Speed   Distance traveled divided by the time needed to travel that distance; Speed = Distance/Time  
🗑
Unbalanced Forces   Unequal forces acting on an object – results in a change in the object’s motion in the direction of the larger force  
🗑
Velocity   Speed and direction of a moving body  
🗑
Newton's 1st Law   An object will remain at rest or move in a straight line with constant speed unless acted upon by an unbalanced force  
🗑
Newton's 2nd Law   An object acted upon by an unbalanced force will accelerate in the direction of the force; Force = Mass X Acceleration  
🗑
Newton's 3rd Law   Forces always act in equal but opposite pairs; Action and Reaction Pair example: bat touches ball and ball touches bat  
🗑


   

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.
