What is the force of attraction between two masses called? Gravity
A force that resists motion between two surfaces that are pressed together is called... Friction
What is the overall force acting on an object when all the forces are combined? Net force

Is it possible to have balanced forces on a moving object? Yes
What is needed to change an object's motion? an unbalanced force
The resistance of an object to a change in the speed or the direction of its motion is called... Inertia
Any force that keeps an object moving in a circle is... Centripetal

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.
