distance the amount of space between two things
acceleration speeding up
deceleration slowing down
rotation spinning or turning around

inertia the tendency of an object to resist any change in motion (1st law)
Newton's 2nd law an object's acceleration depends on the objects mass and the size of the force acting on it. (F=M x A)

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:
