Question
Answer
Inertia   A body in motion tends to stay in motion; a body in rest tends to stay in rest  
🗑
Newton's First Law of Motion   An object that is not subject to any outside forces moves at a constant velocity covering equal distances in equal times along a straight-line path  
🗑
Vector quantity and magnitude   Consists of direction and magnitude; Magnitude is the exact quantity  
🗑
Speed and velocity   Speed = distance/time; Velocity = how quickly one's position changes (speed with direction); usually in m/s  
🗑
Forces   Outside influences that cause an object to move (mass x acceleration = kg*m/ sec^2 = Newton)  
🗑
Acceleration   How quickly velocity changes (m/sec^2)  
🗑
Inertial frame of reference   viewpoint of inertial object  
🗑
Standard unit   Units that everyone agrees on, S.I. (meters, meters/second, meters/second^2, Newtons, kilograms)  
🗑
Newton   measurement of Force, mass x acceleration, kg*m/s^2  
🗑
Grams   measurement of mass  
🗑
Net force   Sum of all forces being exerted on an object  
🗑
Newton's Second Law of Motion   The net force exerted on an object is equal to the product of that object's mass times the acceleration (Force = Mass x Acceleration) , the acceleration is in the same direction as the net force  
🗑
Newton's Third Law of Motion   Every action has an equal and opposite reaction  
🗑
Support forces   Forces that push each other along directly on a surface  
🗑
Normal forces   Forces that are directed away from the surface (example, table exerts normal force on notebook)  
🗑
Energy   The capacity to do work  
🗑
Work   The process of transferring energy  
🗑
Conserve quantity   Energy that cannot be created nor destroyed  
🗑
Kinetic energy   Energy contained in object's motion  
🗑
Potential energy   Energy contained between or within objects  
🗑
Mechanical advantage   Process whereby mechanical device redistributes the amount of force and distance that go to performing a specific amount of mechanical work  
🗑


   

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.
