QuestionAnswer
Motion Is a change in an object position overtime
Reference point The object that appears to stay in place
Reference frame A set of objects that are all stationary with respect to each other
Speed A measure of the distance and object moves in a given amount of time
Average speed
Velocity An object is a quantity that describes the speed of the object and its direction of travel
Constant velocity Is always motion along a straight line
Acceleration The rate of velocity changes
Positive acceleration If it has a positive velocity and it’s speed increases
Negative acceleration Moving in the positive direction and it speed decreases
Newton’s first law of motion Unless acted on buying an unbound for an object stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion at a constant velocity It also is called the law of inertia
Newton second law of motion The acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object, and the amount of force applied
Newton’s third law of motion When one object applies a force to a second object, the second object applies an equal, and opposite force to the first object
Interia The tendency of objects to resist any change of motionU
Action and reaction force The pair or forces described by Newton’s third law
Describe the difference between a reference point and a reference frame A reference point is one place or object used to tell if something moves. A reference frame is the surroundings used to describe moti
How can speed be measured? By measuring the distance traveled and the time it takes.
How is speed calculated? Speed = distance ÷ time.
How was the direction indicated for velocity? By giving the speed and a direction, such as 30 mph north.
What is the net force on an object when the forces are balanced? What does that mean for the object motion or lack thereof The net force is 0 N. An object stays still or continues moving at a constant velocity.
Describe the forces acting on a bus that is stopped at a stop. How would the forces change if the bus started moving? Gravity pulls down, and the ground pushes up. The forces are balanced. When the bus accelerates, there is an unbalanced forward force.
Describe how friction connects to Newton’s first law of motion Friction is a force that opposes motion and can cause a moving object to slow down or stop.
How does mass affect interia Friction is a force that opposes motion and can cause a moving object to slow down or stop.
How is Newton’s Law express mathematically Force = mass × acceleration, or F = ma.
Compare the acceleration of two objects, have different masses, and the same amount of force supplied The object with less mass accelerates more. The object with more mass accelerates less.
Analyze the amount of force between objects at the same time of a collision. Is there a difference if the objects are the same mass or different masses? Both objects exert equal forces in opposite directions, even if their masses are different. Their accelerations may be different.
You stepped off the log flume boat onto the platform. What happens to the boat? The boat moves backward as you push forward to step onto the platform. This demonstrates Newton's third law.

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.
