N1st law and motion

Newtons first law , inertia, and motion.

QuestionAnswer
Distance How far you traveled between two objects. Always positive. It's a scalar quantity.
Displacement Change in position. It's the straight line distance between your starting position. It is equal to final position minus initial. It can positive or negative. It is vector quantity.
Scalar quantity that only requires magnitude (how big)
Vector quantity that requires both magnitude (how bug) directions.
Speed How fast something is moving. It's equal to distance divided by time. It is a scalar quantity.
Velocity rate at which a position changes. It is equal to displacement divided by time. It is a vector quantity.
Newton's First Law Aka The law of inertia. An object at rest will stay in rest. An object in motion will stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon an unbalnced force
Mass A measure of the amount of mass an object has. Also a measure of inertia an object has.
Inertia the resistance an object has to change in it's motion.
Force Any push or pull (interaction) that can cause a change in motion.
Net force the combination of all forces on an object
Balanced forces When the net force is both horizontal and vertical direction are 0 newtons. These cause motion to stay the same.
Unbalanced forces When the net force is both horizontal and vertical direction are 0 newtons.That cause the motion to change.
Gravitational force/weight (Fg) A non-contact force between two objects that is most apparent close to a large object, such as a planet. The direction of the force is general towards the center of the other object. Eg . Towards the center of the earth.

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.
