Term
Definition
CONTACT FORCE   PUSH OR PULL ON AN OBJECT BY ANOTHER OBJECT THAT IS TOUCHING IT  
🗑
NONCONTACT FORCE   FORCE ONE OBJECT CAN APPLY TO ANOTHER WITHOUT TOUCHING IT  
🗑
F0RCE   PUSH OR PULL ON AN OBJECT  
🗑
FRICTION   FORCE THAT RESISTS THE MOTION OF 2 SURFACES THAT ARE TOUCHING  
🗑
GRAVITY   ATTRACTIVE FORCE THAT EXISTS BETWEEN ALL OBJECTS WITH MASS  
🗑
MASS   AMOUNT OF MATTER IN AN OBJECT  
🗑
STATIC   AT REST OR HAVING NO MOTION  
🗑
WEIGHT   GRAVITATIONAL FORCE EXERTED ON AN OBJECT.....AN OBJECTS RESPONSE TO GRAVITATIONAL PULL  
🗑
BALANCED FORCES   COMBINED FORCES FORM A NET FORCE OF ZERO  
🗑
INERTIA   TENDENCY OF AN OBJECT TO RESIST A CHANGE IN ITS MOTION  
🗑
NET FORCE   COMBINATION OF ALL FORCES ACTING ON AN OBJECT  
🗑
NEWTON'S FIRST LAW OF MOTION   THE LAW OF INERTIA AN OBJECT AT REST STAYS AT REST UNLESS ACTED UPON BY AN OUTSIDE FORCE.....AN OBJECT IN MOTION STAYS IN MOTION UNLESS ACTED UPON BY AN OUTSIDE FORCE.....THE MOTION OF AN OBJECT DOES NOT CHANGE IF THE NET FORCE ON AN OBJECT IS ZERO  
🗑
REFERENCE DIRECTION   GIVEN DIRECTION FROM A STARTING POINT TO DESCRIBE AN OBJECT'S POSITION  
🗑
UNBALANCED FORCES   COMBINED FORCES THAT FORM A NET FORCE THAT IS NOT ZERO  
🗑
CENTRIPETAL FORCE   FORCE IN A CIRCULAR MOTION THAT ACTS PERPENDICULAR TO THE DIRECTION OF MOTION TOWARD THE CENTER OF THE CIRCLE  
🗑
CIRCULAR MOTION   ANY MOTION IN WHICH AN OBJECT IS MOVING ALONG A CURVED PATH  
🗑
NEWTON'S 2ND LAW OF MOTION   ACCELERATION IS EQUAL TO THE NET FORCE EXERTED ON AN OBJECT DIVIDED BY THE OBJECTS MASS  
🗑
FORCE PAIR   FORCES THAT 2 OBJECTS APPLY TO EACH OTHER  
🗑
LAW OF CONSERVATION OF MOMENTUM   TOTAL MOMENTUM OF A GROUP OF OBJECTS REMAINS THE SAME UNLESS OUTSIDE FORCES ACT ON THE OBJECTS  
🗑
MOMENTUM   MEASURE OF HOW HARD IT IS TO STOP (START) A MOVING OBJECT  
🗑
NEWTON'S 3RD LAW OF MOTION   FOR EVERY ACTION THERE IS AN EQUAL AND OPPOSITE REACTION  
🗑


   

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.
