Force and Newton's Laws

TermDefinition
Force A push or a pull.
Balanced Forces When the sum of the forces acting on an object are zero.
Unbalanced Forces When the sum of the forces acting on an object is not zero.
Net Force The force that remains after all forces have been added together (both positive and negative).
Newton's First Law An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in potion tends to stay in straight-line motion unless a net force is applied.
Friction The force that resists relative motion of a body.
Equilibrium Rule An object experiences acceleration if and only if a net force is applied.
Weight The magnitude of the reaction force acting on an object.
Newton's Second Law An object's acceleration is directly proportional to the net force applied and inversely proportional to it's mass.
Static Friction Force of attraction between two or more solid objects that are not moving relative to each other.
Sliding Friction Force that results when two objects are moving relative to each other and rub together.
Rolling Friction Force resisting the motion when a body rolls on a surface.
Air Resistance Force resisting movement within a fluid. It is directly proportional to frontal surface area and directly proportional to viscosity of the fluid. Air resistance is directly proportional to the square of the speed of the object in the fluid.
Newton's Third Law For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

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.
