Mr. Biando's Lab

Mr. Biando's Lab - Gravity and Motion

DefinitionTerm
In the 1500s this Italian scientist tested his hypothesis that all objects regardless of their mass fell at the same rate of speed due to gravity. Galileo
The rate of acceleration due to gravity. 9.8m/s2
gravity multiplied by time. the change in velocity
The force that opposes the motion of objects through the air. Air resistance
The constant velocity of a falling object when the force of air resistance is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force of gravity. Terminal velocity
The motion of a body when only the force of gravity is acting on the body. Free fall
Any object that travels in a circular path around another object. Orbiting
Unbalanced forces that cause an object to move in a circular path. Centripetal Force
The curved path that an object follows when thrown, launched, or otherwise projected near the surface of the Earth. Projectile Motion
The component of projectile motion in which motion of the object is parallel to the ground. Horizontal motion
The component of projectile motion in which the object moves perpendicular to the ground. Vertical motion

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.
