Question
Answer
show acceleration  
🗑
How fast something is moving without regard to its direction. Also the distance traveled divided by time. d / t   show
🗑
Speed and direction. Also the displacement divided by time. Δx / Δt   show
🗑
show force  
🗑
A measure of how difficult it is to speed something up or get it to stop.   show
🗑
show meters per second, m/s  
🗑
The units for time.   show
🗑
show kilograms, kg  
🗑
show Newtons, N  
🗑
The units for acceleration.   show
🗑
For every action force there is an equal but opposite reaction force.   show
🗑
show Newton's 2nd Law  
🗑
An objects change in position.   show
🗑
The gravitational acceleration near the surface of the Earth.   show
🗑
The variable for velocity.   show
🗑
The variable for acceleration.   show
🗑
show F  
🗑
The variable for time.   show
🗑
The force that keep an object moving along a circular path. Also m·v²/r .   show
🗑
show net force, Fnet  
🗑
show freefall  
🗑
show balanced forces  
🗑
When forces acting on an object do not cancel out completely. The net force acting upon it is NOT zero. The object will accelerate.   show
🗑
The velocity when an object is at rest, stationary, or stopped. This is also the initial velocity of an object that is dropped.   show
🗑
show slope = velocity  
🗑
What you can determine from a velocity versus time graph of an object's motion (aka v vs. t graph).   show
🗑


   

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.
