Newton's Laws

Review the Laws of Motion!

QuestionAnswer
Force "A push or a pull" (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2015, p.30) .
Inertia "The tendency of an object to resist a change in motion unless an outside force acts on the object" (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2015, p. R51).
Motion "An object's change in position relative to a reference point" (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2015, p. R52).
Balanced Force When forces are balanced on the object at rest it will not move. An object already moving will continue to move steadily (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2015).
Unbalanced Force When forces cause the object to change its speed and/or direction (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2015).
Force Pairs "Whenever one objects exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first" (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2015, p.38).
Newton's First Law of Motion "Objects at rest will stay at rest and objects in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force" (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2015, p. 34).
Newton's Second Law of Motion The more mass an object has, the more force will be required to accelerate it (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2015).
Newton's Third Law of Motion "Whenever one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first" (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2015, p. 28).
Acceleration "The rate at which velocity changes over time" (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2015, p. R50).

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.
