QuestionAnswer
Which law of motion explains why it is harder to push a heavy object than a light one? Newton's Second Law
According to Newton's laws of motion, what happens to an object in motion if no external forces act on it? It continues to move at a constant velocity
A brick slides on a horizontal surface. Which of the following will increase the magnitude of the frictional force on it? Putting a second brick on top
What is the term used to describe the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion? Inertia
A mass sliding down a frictionless inclined plane has how many forces in its FBD? 2 Gravity The weight of the object pulling straight downward toward the center of the Earth. Normal Force The supporting force exerted by the surface of the ramp, acting perpendicular to the incline.

What is the SI unit for force? Newton (N)
What is the term for the force of attraction between two objects with mass? Gravity
What is the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration according to Newton's second law of motion? Force = mass x acceleration

Newton's second law of motion states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to what? The net force acting on it
What is the term for the force that opposes the relative motion of two surfaces in contact? Friction
If an object is moving at a constant speed in a straight line, what can you conclude about the net force acting on it? The net force is zero

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.
