Newton's Laws

TermDefinition
Motion The change in position of an object over time compared to a reference point.
Force A push or pull on an object that can change its motion.
Gravity The force of attraction between objects due to their masses.
Inertia The tendency of an object to resist any change in its motion.
Newton's First Law A law stating that an object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion at the same speed and direction unless acted on by an unbalanced force.
Balanced Force Forces on an object that are equal in size and opposite in direction, causing no change in motion.
Unbalanced Force Forces on an object that are unequal, causing a change in motion.
Net Force The overall force acting on an object after all forces are combined.
System A group of interacting or related objects that work together.
Acceleration The rate at which velocity changes over time.
Velocity Speed in a specific direction.
Mass The amount of matter in an object.
Newton's Second Law The acceleration of an object is dependant on the object's mass and the net force acting upon it
F = ma The equation form of Newton's Second Law
Meters per second squared (m/s²) The standard unit for measuring acceleration.
Newton A unit of measure that equals the force required to accelerate 1 kilogram of mass at 1 meter per second per second
Newton's Third Law A law stating that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Friction A force that resists the motion of objects or surfaces sliding past each other.
Action Force The initial force exerted on an object in an interaction.
Reaction Force The force exerted back in the opposite direction in response to the action force.

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.
