Force

TermDefinition
Force Push or pull applied to an object

Gravity The force that attracts an object towards the center of the Earth, or towards any other physical body having mass
Push To use force to move someone or something away from you
Pull To hold onto and move someone or something toward yourself
Friction the force that causes a moving object to slow down when it is touching another object.
Mass is a measurement of the amount of matter something contains.
Weight is the measurement of the pull of gravity on an object.
Motion the action or process of moving or of changing place or position; movement.
Inertia the property of matter by which it retains its state of rest or its velocity along a straight line so long as it is not acted upon by an external force.
Speed the rate at which someone or something moves or travels.
Position the place where someone or something is in relation to other people or things.
Axis the imaginary straight line that something (such as the Earth) turns around.
Unbalanced Force are not equal, and they always cause the motion of an object to change the speed and/or direction that it is moving.
Acceleration: the rate at which the speed of a moving object changes over time
Direction a course along which someone or something moves
Velocity the speed of something in a given direction.
Air resistance the force acting on an object that is moving through air flowing in the opposite direction.
Momentum the quantity of motion of a moving body, measured as a product of its mass and velocity.
Resist withstand the action or effect of.
Deceleration reduction in speed or rate.
Newton’s First Law every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force.
Newton’s Second Law the acceleration of an object is directly related to the net force and inversely related to its mass
Newton’s Third Law for every action there is an equal and opposite 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.
