Balanced Force equal forces actin on an object in opposite directions
Friction the force that one surface exerts on another when the two surfaces rub against each other
Static Friction friction that acts on objects that are not moving
Sliding Friction friction that occurs when one solid surface slides over another
Rolling Friction friction that occurs when an object rolls over a surface
Fluid Friction friction that occurs as a an object moves through a fluid
Gravity the force that pulls objects toward each other
Mass the amount of matter in an object
Weight the force of gravity on an object at the surface on a planet

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.
