Force/Motion 5

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
force   a push or pull on an object  
🗑
motion   change in position measured by distance and time  
🗑
speed   the distance an object travels in a certain amount of time (distance over time)  
🗑
velocity   how fast (speed) and how far (direction)  
🗑
acceleration   change in velocity; tells us the rate speed or direction changes  
🗑
momentum   measurement of the amount of force it would take to stop an object's motion (usually forward; mass (kg) x velocity (m/s); unit is kg*m/s  
🗑
direction   "the way" an object is headed  
🗑
mass   how much matter is in an object  
🗑
gravity   a force that pulls objects towards earth's center  
🗑
inertia   the tendency of motionless objects to remain motionless and moving objects to remain in motion  
🗑
Newton's 1st Law   law of inertia; an object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon; an object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon  
🗑
Newton's 2nd Law   force = mass x acceleration  
🗑
Newton's 3rd Law   for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction  
🗑
friction   force from two objects rubbing against each other; resistance to move  
🗑
weight   gravity's pull on an object  
🗑
balanced force   do not cause a change in motion; equal in size and opposite in direction  
🗑
unbalanced force   always cause a change in motion; forces are not equal and opposite  
🗑
net force   overall force on an object  
🗑


   

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.
