Free Body Diagram diagram that shows all of the forces on a body

Weight a measure of the force of gravity
Friction force resulting from movement across a surface or through a fluid.

Coefficient of Friction a constant that depends only on the roughness of the surface
Law of Inertia an object at rest will stay at rest or an object in motion will stay in motion in a straight line until an unbalanced force acts on it
Newton's 2nd Law acceleration is affected by an object's mass and the force acting on it
Newton's 3rd Law for every action force, there is an equal and opposite reaction force

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.
