Term
Definition
motion   The state in which one object's distances from another is changing  
🗑
reference point   A place or object used for comparison to determine if an object is in motion  
🗑
instantaneous speed   The speed of an object at one instant time.  
🗑
speed   The distance an object travels per unit of time  
🗑
velocity   speed in a given direction  
🗑
slope   The steepness of a line on a graph.  
🗑
acceleration   The rate at which velocity changes  
🗑
force   A push or pull exerted on an object  
🗑
unbalanced force   Forces that produce a nonzero net force, which changes an objects motion  
🗑
balanced force   Equal forces acting on an object in opposite directions, not changing the motion of the object  
🗑
newton   A unti of measurement that equals the force required to accelerate one kilogram of mass at a meter per second per second. E=MC^2  
🗑
net force   The overall force on an object when the individual forces acting on it are added together.  
🗑
friction   The force that one surface exerts on another when the two surfaces are rubbed together.  
🗑
static friction   Friction that acts on objects that are not moving  
🗑
gravity   The force that PULLS objects toward each other  
🗑
sliding friction   Friction that occurs when one solid surface slides over another  
🗑
rolling friction   Friction that occurs when an object rolls over a surface  
🗑
fluid friction   Friction that occurs as an object moves through a liquid  
🗑
air resistance   The fluid friction experienced when objects fall through air  
🗑
free fall   The motion of a falling object when the only force acting on it is gravity  
🗑
terminal velocity   The greatest velocity a falling object can achieve  
🗑
inertia   The tendency in an object to resist any change in its motion  
🗑
momentum   the product of an objects mass and velocity  
🗑
Law of Conservation of Momentum   The rule that in the absence of outside forces the total momentum of objects that interact does not change.  
🗑
average speed   The overall rate of speed at which an object moves  
🗑


   

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.
