unbalanced forces two or more forces that act on an object with different magnitudes in any direction
Net Force sum of all forces acting on an object
Kinetic Energy energy than an object has because it is moving
mass the amount of matter that makes up an object

speed How fast an object is moving
velocity Speed in a particular direction
Potential Energy Energy Stored in an object or system of objects
Acceleration A measure of the change in velocity of a moving object
Collision The movement when two objects hit each other
Friction A force between an object and the surface it is moving over
Static Friction The force that prevents a stationary object from moving
Sliding Friction Friction that acts on objects when they are sliding over a surface
Rolling Friction Friction that acts on objects when they are rolling over a surface
Fluid Friction the force that resists the motion of an object moving through a fluid, such as liquid or gas

Newton's 1st Law of Motion An object at rest remains at rest, or an object in motion remains in motion, unless acted upon by an outside force
Inertia The tendency of a body to resist a change in motion or rest
Newton's 2nd Law of Motion F = ma, or net force is equal to mass times acceleration

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.
