Newtons Law of Motio

Newtons Law of Motion

QuestionAnswer
A force that opposes motion between two surfaces that are touching Friction
An objects resistance to a change in motion. Based on mass, the more mass the more inertia. Inertia
an object at rest will stay at rest, an object that is moving will stay moving unless acted on by an unbalanced force. Newton's First Law
Force equals mass times acceleration (F = ma) The common sense law Newton's Second Law
for every action force there is an equal and opposite reaction force Newton's Third Law of Motion
Forces that are unequal in size and the direction is the same; they cause an object to move. Unbalanced Forces
Forces on an object that are equal in size and opposite in direction (don't cause any change in motion) Balanced Forces
states that the total momentum of objects that collide with each other is the same before and after the collision Law of Conservation
The overall force on an object when all the individual forces acting on an object are added together Net force
The amount of matter in an object Mass
A unit of measure that equals the force required to accelerate one kilogram of mass at 1 meter per second Newton
The force that pulls objects toward each other Gravity
The force of gravity on an object at the surface of a planet Weight
(F applied) - The force that must be applied with a push or a pull. Applied Force
(F normal) - The force applied perpendicular to any surface that is in contact with an object. Normal Force
The rate of change of velocity of a moving object; to speed up Acceleration
Forces acting on an object that are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction Balanced forces
A push or pull which changes an object's motion, direction, or the shape and size of an object; a vector quantity measured in Newtons (N) Force
The force that resists the motion of one surface relative to another with which it is in contact Friction
The quantity of matter contained in a body, measured in kilograms (kg) Mass
Anything that has mass and occupies space Matter
The resulting force after all vector forces have been added The resulting force after all vector forces have been added
Forces acting on an object that are not equal in magnitude and/or direction Unbalanced forces
A vector quantity describing the distance traveled by an object in a particular direction per unit time; the direction must be included for an accurate description of velocity Velocity
a body's relative mass or the quantity of matter contained by it, giving rise to a downward force; the heaviness of a person or thing. weight
the path that a moving object follows direction

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.
