Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.

Question
Answer
speed equation   distance divided by time  
🗑
speed   the rate at which an object moves  
🗑
motion   a change in postion in a certain amount of time  
🗑
average speed   speed that changes over time  
🗑
constant speed   speed that does not change over time  
🗑
velocity   speed in a given direction  
🗑
acceleration   rate of change in velocity  
🗑
deceleration   a decrease in velocity  
🗑
momentum   depends on the mass of the object and the velocity with which it is traveling  
🗑
acceleration equation   (final velocity-orginal velocity)divided by time  
🗑
momentum   mass x velocity  
🗑
average speed   final distance divided by final time  
🗑
Types of Friction   Rolling, Fluid, Sliding  
🗑
Rolling Friction   Produced by such objects such as wheels or ball bearings. Tends to be less than sliding friction.  
🗑
Sliding Friction   When solid objects slide over each other  
🗑
Balanced Force   force acting on an object that will NOT change the object's motion  
🗑
Unbalanced Force   force that acts on an object that will change its direction  
🗑
Force   A force gives energy to an object, sometimes causing it to start moving, stop mofing or change direction. A push or a pull  
🗑
Friction   A force that acts in a direction opposite to the motion of the moving object. Friction will cause a moving object to slow down or stop.  
🗑
Fluid Friction   Occurs when objects move accross or through fluids or gases  
🗑
Sir Isaac Newton   Laws of motion  
🗑
1st law   Inertia - an object a rest remains at rest and an object in motion remains in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.  
🗑
2nd Law   Force = mass x acceleration (the larger the force the larger the acceleration)  
🗑
3rd Law   Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.  
🗑


   

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.
