Question
Answer
The force that pulls objects toward each other.   Gravity  
🗑
The force of gravity on an object at the surface of the planet.   Weight  
🗑
The greatest velocity a falling object can achieve.   Terminal velocity  
🗑
The motion of a falling object when the only force acting on it is gravity.   Free Fall  
🗑
A push or a pull exerted on an object.   Force  
🗑
The overall force on an object when all the individual forces acting on an object are added together.   Net force  
🗑
The force that one surface exerts on another when the two rub against each other.   Friction  
🗑
The tendency of an object to resist any change in its motion.   Inertia  
🗑
The fluid friction experienced by objects falling through the air.   Air resistance  
🗑
A unit of measure that equals the force required to accelerate one kilogram of mass at 1 meter per second per second.   Newton  
🗑
Equal forces acting on an object in opposite directions.   Balanced forces  
🗑
A nonzero net force, which changes an object’s motion.   Unbalanced forces  
🗑
Write the mathematical formula for force.   Mass x Acceleration  
🗑
Write the mathematical formula for acceleration.   Force/Mass  
🗑


   

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.
