Newton's Laws

for quiz

TermDefinition
inertia the tendency of all objects to resist any change in motion
Newton's first law of motion an object at rest remains at rest, and an object in motion remains in motion at a constant speed and in a straight line unless acted on by an unbalanced force
Newton's second law of motion the acceleration of an object depends on its mass and the amount of force applies
Newton's third law of motion all forces act in pairs, for every action force there is an equal and opposite reaction force
friction the common unblanced force acting on objects in motion
equation for Newton's second law of moition F = m x a
gravity the force of attraction between 2 objects
mass the amount of matter in an object
weight the amount of gravitational force on an object
centripetal force the unbalanced force that causes an object to move in a circular path
projectile motion the curved path an object follows, combination of horizontal and vertical motion
terminal velocity when the force of gravity is equal to the force of air friction on a falling object, net force is 0 N
orbit when one object in space makes a circular path around another due to gravity and horizontal motion
law of universal gravitation all objects in the universe are attracted to each other

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.
