Forces and Motion Test

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
inertia   the tendency of an object to stay at rest or in motion  
🗑
momentum   a measure of how difficult it is to stop an object  
🗑
velocity   speed in a particular direction  
🗑
acceleration   the change in velocity divided by the time it takes for the change to occur (speeding up or slowing down)  
🗑
centripetal force   any force that causes an object to move in a circular path - PULLS EARTH IN A CIRCULAR MOTION AROUND THE SUN  
🗑
weight   a measure of the pull of gravity on an object  
🗑
friction   the force that opposes the motion of an object  
🗑
gravity   the force of attraction between all objects in the universe  
🗑
Newton's 1st Law of motion   an object at rest stays at rest or an object in motion stays in motion unless an unbalanced force acts upon it.  
🗑
Newton's 2nd Law of motion   an object acted upon by a force will accelerate in the direction of the force - Force = Mass x Acceleration  
🗑
Newton's 3rd Law of motion   for every action force there is an equal and opposite reaction force  
🗑
Deceleration   negative acceleration  
🗑


   

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.
