Newton's Laws

Terms Dealing with Newton's Laws of Motion

QuestionAnswer
What is Inertia The tendency of an object to resist a change in motion.
Rest A state of not being in motion or inactivity.
Motion An instance of changing place.
Force A push or pull
Gravity The force of attraction between any two objects.
Friction The force that resists relative motion between two bodies in contact.
Speed A rate that measures how much time it takes an object to move a certain distance.
Distance The amount of separation between two points.
Time The measured period during which an action, process, or condition exists or continues.
Rate The measurement for how much time it take to perform a task.
Velocity Measures the measures the rate of change of position.
Position A place or location.
Acceleration Measures the rate of change in velocity.
Newton’s Second Law of Motion The force needed to change the motion of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of acceleration wanted.
F = M x A Newton’s Second Law of Motion may also be explained, as a mathematical equation.
F = Force
A = Acceleration
M = Mass
Mass An objects amount of matter.
V = Velocity
T = Time
R = Rate or Speed

Newton's First Law of Motion An objects ability to resist a change in motion. Objects in motion will remain in motion until an unbalance force acts on it. An object in motion will remain in motion unless an unbalanced force acts on it.
Newton's Thrid Law of Motion For every action force there is an equal and opposite reaction force.
Action Force A force in one direction that causes an equal but opposite recation force.
Reaction Force A force in one direction caused by an equal action force but in the opposite direction.

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.
