8th Unit 4 set C

Force and Motion Key Terms

TermDefinition
Weight an object’s mass multiplied by the gravitational force acting upon it.
Force Formula force equals mass times acceleration (F=ma)
Rate of acceleration due to Gravity on earth 9.81 meters per second squared
Mental models models that are constructed and simulated within a conscious mind.
Physical models models that can be looked at, touched, and measured.
Conceptual models describe systems and how they work
Graphic models show the relationship between two variables on a graph so that the relationship is easily seen and understood.
gravitational potential energy the stored energy of an object due to its position relative to a reference point on Earth
conservative force forces that cause energy to be converted into forms that be easily regained; examples are gravity, the electrostatic force, and the spring force.
non-conservative force forces that cause energy to be converted into forms that cannot be easily regained; examples are friction and air resistance.
electrostatic force the attraction and repulsion of particles based on their electrical charges
induction charging a neutral object by bringing a charged object close to but not touching the object.
insulator material that resists the movement of charge
conductor a material across which electrons can easily travel

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.
