Day One of Force And Motion

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

Term
Definition
Newton's First Law of Motion   Newton's First Law of Motion-An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalancing force  
🗑
Inertia   Inertia -The tendency for objects to resist changes in movement  
🗑
Force   Force -a push or pull on an object, resulting from its interaction with another object  
🗑
Direct Contact Forces   Direct Contact Forces-forces that act when two interacting objects are in physical contact with each other.  
🗑
Frictional Forces   Frictional Forces –the opposing force exerted by a surface as an object moves across it or makes an effort to move across it . The amount of friction depends on the nature of the two surfaces and on the degree to which they are pressed together.  
🗑
Tensional Forces   Tensional Forces- Tension is a force applied by an object that stretches another object. d. Tensional force is a force applied by an object being stretched.  
🗑
Normal Forces   Normal Forces - the support force exerted upon an object in contact with another stable object in the opposite direction of gravity.  
🗑
Air resistance force   Air resistance force- Direct Contact Force That acts upon objects falling from the sky that increases with surface area. ( Pencil & Paper , skydivers)  
🗑
Applied Force   Applied Force- a force applied to an object by a person or another object.  
🗑
Action-At-a Distance Forces   Action-At-a Distance Forces -forces that act when two interacting objects are not in physical contact with each other.  
🗑
Gravitational Forces   Gravitational Forces -The At-a-Distance force that pulls all objects back to the ground with an equal force of 9.81 newtons.  
🗑
Electrical Force   Electrical Forces - the At-a-distance force of attraction between positive protons and negative electrons in atoms. They do not touch, but are nonetheless pulled toward each othe  
🗑
Magnetic Forces   Magnetic Forces – The At-a-distance force that two magnets exert on each other when separated.  
🗑
Vector   When forces are stated in terms of having both a magnitude(Size) and a direction  
🗑
Vector Diagram   Diagram of the all of the forces acting on an object  
🗑
Balanced Force   Force that cannot change an object speed or direction When the sum of forces acting on an object cancel out and equal zero.  
🗑
Unbalanced forces   Forces that can move an object because the sum of forces acting on this object do not cancel out and equal zero.  
🗑
Speed   the rate at which an object moves that is equal to distance divided by time. (Speed = Distance / Time).  
🗑


   

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.
