Forces and motion

TermDefinition
Displacement the difference between the initial ,or starting position and final position.
Speed a measure of the distance an object travels in the given amount of time
velocity speed and direction of a moving object
vector a quantity that has both magnitude and direction
reference point the starting point
position an object distance and direction from reference point
motion the progress of changed position
acceleration a measuring of the change in velocity during changes during a period of time
force a push or a pull on an object
contact force is a push or a pull on one object by another object that is touching
newtons 2nd law an acceleration of an object equals the net force on the object
friction a contact force that resists sliding motion of two surfaces that are touching .
free body diagram a simple model to understand what will happen to an object
net force the combination of all the forces acting on an object
newtons first law a object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion unless a force acts up on it.
non contact force a force that one object can apply to another object without touching it.
gravity is an attractive force that exist between all objects that have mass.
field a region of space that has a physical quantity (such as force) at every point.
weight gravitational force exerted on a object
newtons 3rd law when an object applies force to another object
inertia the inherent resistance of any physical object to change its state of motion or rest, directly proportional to its mass
force pairs the force two objects apply to eatchothers
normal force the force that pushes perpendicular
inelastic collisions interactions where total system momentum is conserved, but total kinetic energy is not, typically losing energy through deformation, sound, or heat.
elastic collisions a collision where both total kinetic energy and total momentum are conserved

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.
