Qtr 2 Wk 3 Forces

Qtr. 2, Wk. 3: Forces

TermDefinition
Force a push or pull exerted on an object; a force is described by its strength and its direction; F = m x a
Newton the SI unit for force; lifting a lemon requires about 1 newton of force
Net Force the combination of all forces acting on an object; determines whether or not the object will move and also the direction of movement
Unbalanced Forces forces that produce a nonzero net force, causing an object to move, stop moving, or change direction
Balanced Forces equal forces acting on an object in opposite directions; results in 0 net force and no change in motion
Friction the motion-opposing force exerted by surfaces when objects are in contact with each other; factors include surface conditions and the objects' weights
Gravity the force that pulls objects toward each other; factors include the objects' masses and distance apart
Mass the SI measure for how much matter is in an object; measured in kilograms or grams
Newton's First Law of Motion An object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force; aka 'Law of Inertia'
Inertia the tendency of an object to resist any change in motion; is dependent upon the object's mass
Newton's Second Law of Motion The acceleration of an object depends on the object's mass and on the net force acting on the object; aka 'Law of Acceleration'
Newton's Third Law of Motion If an object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts a force of equal strength in the opposite direction on the first object; aka 'Action/Reaction Law'
Momentum a characteristic of any moving object equal to the product of the object's mass and velocity (kg x m/s)

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.
