TermDefinition
Newton's second law of motion the acceleration of an object is in the same direction as the net force on the object
friction the force opposes the sliding motion of two surfaces that are touching each other
static friction frictional force that prevents two surfaces from sliding past each other
sliding friction the force that opposes the motion of two surfaces sliding past each other
air resistance opposes the motion of objects that move through the air
gravity an attractive force between any two objects that depends on the masses of the objects and the distance between them
weight the gravitational force exerted on and object
centripetal acceleration acceleration toward the center of a curved or circular path
centripetal force the net force exerted toward the center of a curved path
Newton's third law of motion describes action-reaction pairs this way: when one object exerts a force on a second object, the second one exerts a force on the first that is equal in strength and opposite in direction
momentum the product of and objects mass and velocity

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.
