Unit #7 Hot Cards

Physics

QuestionAnswer
An action that makes an object either move or change shape. (EX: a push, a pull, a twist.) Force
The sum of all forces acting on an object Net Force
A force that changes an object's motion or causes it to accelerate. Unbalanced Force
Forces that are equal & acting in opposite directions. Since the net force is zero, NO MOVEMENT OCCURS! Balanced Force
The transfer of energy as the result of motion. Work
(Note: Work is measured in Joules, Forces in Networks & Distance in Meters!) - This means that something has to MOVE in order for "work" to be done. Work = Force x Distance
Change's the amount and/or direction of the force that must be exerted to for work. You get the same work done with less force- thus it INCREASE EFFICIENCY! Machine
A machine that consists of only one part Simple Machine
A bar that is free to pivot about a fixed point called a fulcrum. The longer the effort arm the less required to move an object. (EX: hammer, seesaw, wheelbarrow.) Lever
A slanted surface used to raise objects. It decreases the force required to raise an object by increasing the distance. (EX: a loading ramp.) Inclined Plane
An arrangement of one or more wheels & rope (EX: the string on the flag pole.) Pulley
A pulley that stays in place & turns as the cord moves over it. This pulley only gives a directional advantage- in other words, it only changes the direction of the force. it does NOT change the amount of the force or the distance. Fixed Pulley
A pulley that is able to move with the load being raised. This pulley gives a mechanical advantage- in other words, it decreases the force by increasing the distance. (EX: amount of rope you pull!) Moveable Pulley

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.
