position the location of an object or an object's distance and directions from a reference point
direction the path that an object is moving or facing
motion a change in position or the process of changing position
balanced force equal forces on an object that do not change the position or motion of an object; balanced forces = no movement

y-axis the vertical line with labels on a coordinate grid; the dependent variable (often distance) is represented on the y-axis
distance-time graph illustrates change in motion; time is graphed on the x-axis and distance is on the y-axis
speed-time graph illustrates the speed of an object on the y-axis and the time on the x-axis

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.
