force   any push or pull on an object  
🗑
Newton   the standard international unit as a measure of force  
🗑
gravity   the force that pulls objects toward each other(ex: Earth's gravity pulls objects to the ground.)  
🗑
matter   anything that has mass and takes up space  
🗑
mass   the amount of matter in an object  
🗑
weight   a measure of the force of gravity on an object  
🗑
motion   the process of changing position or place relative to another object (movement)  
🗑
inertia   an object at rest tends to stay at rest; an object in motion tends to stay in motion  
🗑
balanced   When opposite forces on an object are equal, the forces are ___________  
🗑
unbalanced   When forces acting on an object are uneven they are ______________.  
🗑

🗑
On a graph showing motion, the y axis represents ___________.   distance  
🗑
On a graph showing motion, the x axis represents ____   time  
🗑
On a graph showing motion, a flat line means ______ motion   no [See textbook p. 94]  
🗑
net force   the overall force acting on an object  
🗑
Force is measured by a ___________.   spring scale

🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
