Force and motion 8th

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
Speed   Speed is the change in distance over a specific amount of time.  
🗑
Speed Formula   Speed = distance divided by time s = d/t  
🗑
Velocity   Velocity is speed in a given direction  
🗑
Acceleration   Change in speed or velocity over a specific amount of time, Speeding up, slowing down, change in direction  
🗑
Balanced Forces   Two forces equal in size and acting in opposite directions on an object. No movement  
🗑
Unbalanced Forces   Two forces that are unequal in size and opposite in direction. Movement.  
🗑
Net Force    The overall forces acting on an object. Measured in Newtons (N)  
🗑
Force   A push or a pull on an object Causes a change in the motion of an object A object’s mass multiplied by acceleration (F=ma)  
🗑
Friction   The force that causes a moving object to slow down when it touches another object. One object rubbing against another  
🗑
Applied Force   A force that is applied to an object by a person or another object. Ex. – A person pushing a box up a ramp Ex. – A bulldozer moving dirt  
🗑
newton's first law of motion   an object at rest will stay at rest AND an object in motion will stay in motion UNLESS an outside force acts on it  
🗑
newton's third law of motion   for every action, there is an equal an opposite reaction  
🗑
newton's second law of motion   the greater the mass of an object, the greater the force needed to accelerate that object  
🗑
law of conservation of mass   mass is neither created nor destroyed; we can demonstrate this with a balanced equation  
🗑
gravity   the force that pulls all objects towards the center of a planet  
🗑
kinetic energy   energy of motion  
🗑
potential energy   stored energy  
🗑
density formula   D= M/V  
🗑
Simple Machines   A simple device for changing the amount or force or direction of force to move an object.  
🗑
Formula for Work   W = f x d Work = force times distance  
🗑
Newton   The SI unit for force (Symbol, N)  
🗑
Motion   An object's change in position relative to a reference point  
🗑


   

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.
