19 Force & Newton's Laws

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

Question
Answer
velocity   the speed and direction of moving object  
🗑
force   a push or a pull  
🗑
net force   the combination of all the forces acting on an object  
🗑
balanced forces   two or more forces exerted on an object when they cancel each other and they do not cause a change in the object's motion  
🗑
unbalanced forces   forces whose effects do not cancel each other and the motion of the object changes  
🗑
Newton's First Law of Motion   an object at rest remains at rest and an object in motion remains in motion unless acted upon by an outside force  
🗑
friction   the force that acts to resist sliding between two touching surfaces  
🗑
acceleration   the change in velocity divided by the time over which the change occurred  
🗑
Newton's Second Law of Motion   an object acted upon by a force will accelerate in the direction of the force  
🗑
weight   the gravitational force between you and Earth  
🗑
center of mass   the point in an object that moves as if all the object's mass were concentrated at that point  
🗑
Newton's Third Law of Motion   for every action, there is 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.
