Force & Motion Vocab

Newtons Laws of Motion

TermDefinition
Inertia the tendency of a body to maintain its state of rest or uniform motion unless acted upon by an outside force.
Force A push or pull on an object
Mass The amount of matter in an object
Acceleration The rate at which an object changes velocity
Newton's First Law An object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will remain in motion unless or until acted on by an outside, unbalanced force.
Newton's Second Law The acceleration of an object is dependent upon the mass of the object and the force exerted on it.
Newton's Third Law For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
Deceleration A decrease in the speed of an object (slowing down)
Exert To apply a force
Unit of measurement for Force Newtons (N)
Unit of measurement for Mass kilograms (kg) or grams (g)
Unit of measurement for Speed meters per second (m/s)
Unit of measurement for Velocity meters per second (m/s)
Unit of measurement for Acceleration meters per second per second (m/s^2)
Formula for Force F=MxA
Formula for Mass M=F/A
Formula for Acceleration A=F/M
Formula for Distance D=SxT
Formula for Speed S=D/T
Formula for Velocity V=D/T
Formula for Time T=D/S
Newton's 1st Law is also known as.... the law of intertia
Newton's 2nd Law is also known as..... the law of force & acceleration
Newton's 3rd Law is also known as.... the law of action/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.
