QuestionAnswer
position An object's location
motion Change in an object's position in an amount of time
rate motion
linear motion Where an object moves along lines
displacement The distance an object moves in a specific direction
Scalar quantity distance
Vector quantity displacement
Velocity vs. speed Velocity is speed plus direction
Speed formula s=d/t
Units for speed m/s
Instantaneous rate Present speed
Average rate The average speed of an object
Velocity formula v=delta x / delta t
Units for velocity m/s
Uniform motion Motion that has a constant rate
delta Change in
slope formula y=mxb
acceleration Increase in velocity over time
deceleration Decrease in velocity over time
Acceleration formula a= delta v / delta t
Units for acceleration m/s2
force A push or pull on matter
Newton’s first law of motion An object will remain motionless or will remain in motion unless a force interferes
Law of Inertia Newton's first law of motion
inertia An object’s tendency to move or remain at motion
Frictional forces Friction that slows an object down
Static friction The force required to overcome inertia
Kinetic friction The force required to keep an object moving
Rolling friction The force required to keep an object rolling
Newton’s second law of motion The mathematical relationships between force, mass, and acceleration
Force formula f=ma
Force units (give both) N, vector quantity
Newton’s third law of motion Every force or action has an equal and opposite reaction
Normal force The force on an object
Free body diagram An object describing motion
Quantum mechanics The physics in the smallest pieces of matter
Relativistic mechanics The physics of motion speeds close to the speed of light
Energy units (give both) J or energy in scalar quantity
Energy formula e=mc2
The four fundamental forces The gravitational, electromagnetic, weak nuclear, and strong nuclear forces.
What does the universal law of gravity state? Every object in the universe pulls on every object
The more mass an object has, the greater its gravitational force
The greater the distance between two objects, the less attraction they have
Force of gravity formula fg=g m1m2/r2
Gravity units (give both) N, or gravitational force is a vector quantity
Inverse square law The gravitational force
weight The weight of force on an object
Free-fall acceleration Acceleration due to gravity
Weight formula w=mg
Weight units (give both) N or the force of weight is a vector quantity
Electromagnetic force The force exerted on a field or charged particle
nucleons Protons and neutrons
Nuclear force The force that holds nucleons together
Strong nuclear force Holds the atomic nuclei together
Weak nuclear force Causes changes in the nucleus
work When a force is applied over a distance
Work formula w=fd
Work units (give both) M or J
machine A device that does work
Effort force The force exerted by a person or machine to move an object
Resistance force The force exerted by the object that opposes movement
Inclined plane A ramp
fulcrum The parts of a lever
lever A simple machine
Fixed pulley A nonmoving pulley
Movable pulley A moving pully
Mechanical advantage What a user gains from a machine
power The rate that something changes
Power formula p=w/t=fd/t
Units for power w
efficiency Used the calculate
Efficiency formula e=p/px100%

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.
