relationship between velocity and acceleration

TermDefinition
force a push or pull exerted on an object in order to change the motion of the object; force has size and direction
motion an object's change in position relative to a reference point
reference point a stationary object that is used to describe an object's motion
speed the distance traveled divided by the time interval during which the motion occurred
velocity the speed of an object in a particular direction
acceleration the rate at which velocity changes over time; an object acceleration if its speed, direction, or both change
friction a force that oppose motion between two surfaces that are in contact
net force the combination of all of the forces acting on an object
balanced force stated when the net forces acting on an object equal zero
unbalanced forces stated when the net force acting on a object not zero
inertia the tendency of an object to resist being moved or, if the object is moving, to resist a change in speed or direction until an outside force acts on the object
gravity a force of attraction between objects that is due to their masses
work the transfer of energy to an object by using a force hat causes the object to move in the direction of the force
machine a device that helps do work either by overcoming a force or changing the direction of the applied force
inclined plane a simple machine that is a straight, slanted surface, which facilitates the raising of loads; a ramp
wedge a simple machine that is made up of two inclined planes and that moves; often used for cutting
screw a simple machine machine that consists of an inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder
lever a simple machine that consists of a bar that pivots at a fixed point called a fulcrum
pulley a simple machine that consists of a wheel or which rope, chair, or wire passes

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.
