Laws of Motion

TermDefinition
First Law of Motion Objects at rest remain at rest and objects in motion continue at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
Inertia The tendency of an object to not change its motion.
Second Law of Motion acceleration = force / mass
Gravity The force of attraction between all objects that depends on the mass of the objects and the distance between them.
Weight The force due to gravity.
Centripetal Force The force that causes objects to move in a curved or circular path.
Centripetal Acceleration The acceleration of an object because it is moving in a curved or circular path.
Third Law of Motion For every action force there is an equal and opposite reaction force.
Momentum The property of a moving object that is the product of its mass and velocity.
Law of Conservation of Momentum States that the total momentum of objects remains the same.
Newton SI unit of force
Kilogram SI unit of mass
m/s/s SI unit of acceleration
9.8m/s/s The acceleration due to gravity of objects near Earth's surface (neglecting air resistance).

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.
