Question
Answer
an object's change in position relative to a reference point   motion  
🗑
an object/point used to identify the motion of another object   reference point  
🗑
the distance traveled divided by the time interval during which the motion occurred   speed  
🗑
the speed of an object in a particular direction   velocity  
🗑
the rate at which velocity changes over time; an object accelerates if its speed, direction, or both change   acceleration  
🗑
acceleration in a circular motion   centripetal acceleration  
🗑
a push or pull on an object that can affect/change its speed/direction   force  
🗑
SI unit for measuring force   Newton (N)  
🗑
combination of all forces on an object   net force  
🗑
forces which do not result in motion of an object   balanced forces  
🗑
forces which affect an object   unbalanced forces  
🗑
the force caused by two surfaces in contact; this force opposes motion   friction  
🗑
friction with two object sliding against each other   sliding kinetic friction  
🗑
friction with wheels   rolling kinetic friction  
🗑
friction with moving objects   kinetic friction  
🗑
friction that involves an object not moving even when force is applied to it   static friction  
🗑
the force that attracts an object to another more massive object   gravity  
🗑
a substance wich opposes friction   lubricant  
🗑
the law made by Isaac Newton that states the concepts of gravity   law of universal gravitation  
🗑
measure of gravitational force on an object   weight  
🗑
amount of matter in an object   mass  
🗑
What peanuts really are   aliens from planet Jupiter  
🗑


   

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.
