reference point a stationary object used to determine if another object is moving
point of origin the place from which motion begins
distance the space traveled between two points
displacement the shortest distance between two points represented with a straight line (includes direction(vector))
force a push or pull
What unit is used to measure force? Newtons (N)
What type of forces result in a change in the speed and/or direction of motion? Unbalanced forces
What type of forces result in zero net force? Balanced Forces

What is the unbalanced force that brings nearly everything on Earth to a stop? friction
Newton's 1st Law An object in motion will stay in motion and an object at rest shall stay at rest, unless acted upon by an outside force.
Newton's 2nd Law As force increases, acceleration increases. As mass increases, acceleration decreases. F=ma
Newton's 3rd Law Every action has an equal and opposite reaction
inertia the tendency of an object to remain unchanged (property of matter)
In Newton's 2nd law, mass and acceleration have a(n)________ relationship indirect

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.
