rolling friction friction that occurs when a object rolls over a surface
newton the SI unit used for the magnitude, or strength, of a force

static friction friction when a object is still
compression an elastic force that squeezes or pushes the molecules in matter together
blananced forces equal forces acting on a object in opposite directions

tension an elastic force that stretches or pulls on the molecules in matter
sliding friction friction that occurs when one solid surface slides over another
unbalanced force forces that causes and objects velocity to change
air resistance the fluid friction experienced
gravity force that pulls objects away from eachother
weight measure of force of gravity on a object
fluid friction friction that occurs when a object moves through fluids

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.
