Force and Motion

Niewoehner Science Review

TermDefinition
Acceleration The rate at which the speed or direction of an object changes
Gravity The force of attraction between any two objects
Acceleration The measure of how quickly velocity changes
Contact Force A force that requires two pieces of matter to touch
Inertia The tendency of an object to resist a change in motion
Non-Contact Force A force that acts at a distance
Friction A force that opposes motion between objects that are touching
Air Resistance Type of friction used to slow a parachute
Newton's First Law States that an object will not move or change its direction unless it is acted upon by a force
Magnetism A type of non-contact force between metals
Force A push or pull that acts on an object
Large Masses Harder to accelerate
Newton's Second Law States that the acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the net force applied
Smaller force Produces less acceleration
Net Force The combination of all the forces acting on the object
Newton's Third Law For every action force there is an equal and opposite reaction force

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.
