|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| force | A push or a pull (vector quantity)
🗑
|
||||
| free-body diagram | A diagram showing all the forces acting ON an object.
🗑
|
||||
| inertia | The tendency of an object to resist change in motion
🗑
|
||||
| net force | The combination (sum) of all the forces acting on an object (taking into account direction with +/-)
🗑
|
||||
| equilibrium | The state in which the net force on an object is 0.
🗑
|
||||
| weight | A measure of the gravitational force exerted on an object. (May change depending on location in the universe.)
🗑
|
||||
| mass | A measure of the amount of matter in an object. (Does not change anywhere in the universe.)
🗑
|
||||
| normal force | A force provided by a surface in a direction perpendicular to that surface.
🗑
|
||||
| static friction | The force that resists the initiation of sliding motion between two surfaces that are in contact and at rest.
🗑
|
||||
| kinetic friction | The force that opposes the movement of two surfaces that are in contact and are sliding over each other.
🗑
|
||||
| coefficient of friction | A (unit-less) number that is used to determine the strength of a frictional force between two surfaces
🗑
|
||||
| normal | Perpendicular to the surface
🗑
|
||||
| acceleration | A change in motion (From rest to moving, from moving to rest, etc. )
🗑
|
||||
| newton's 1st law | (Law of Inertia) an object in motion tends to stay in motion & an object at rest stays at rest unless acted upon by a net external force.
🗑
|
||||
| newton's 2nd law | The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force on it, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
🗑
|
||||
| field force | A push or pull in which the interaction occurs "at a distance" without visible contact between the system and the environment
🗑
|
||||
| contact force | A force that is exerted only when two objects are touching.
🗑
|
||||
| newton's 3rd law | For every action force there is an equal and opposite reaction force.
🗑
|
||||
| newton's 3rd law pair | The two forces involved in N3L. For example, force of butt-on-seat and the equal and opposite force of seat-on-butt
🗑
|
||||
| net | Total, sum, combination, the extra amount that is not cancelled by anything else.
🗑

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.
