This is my study stack for the forces unit

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
Momentum   The product for an objects mass and its velocity  
🗑
Formula for Momentum   m=pv  
🗑
Laws of Conservation of Momentum   the total momentum of any group of objects remains the same unless outside forces also act on the object  
🗑
Force   a push or pull that gives energy to an object  
🗑
Units of Force   forces are measured in Newtons;N  
🗑
Net Force   the total of all the forces acting on an object  
🗑
Inertia   the tendency of matter to resist a change in its motion  
🗑
Balanced Force(s)   the net force acting on an object is zero  
🗑
Unbalanced Force(s)   the net force acting on an object is not zero  
🗑
Magnitude   the amount (size) of a measurement  
🗑
Friction   a force that one surface exerts on another when the two surfaces are in contact with each other  
🗑
Static Friction   friction between non-moving objects  
🗑
Kinetic Friction   friction between moving objects  
🗑
Sliding Friction   friction between objects that slide (rub) against each other  
🗑
Rolling Friction   occurs when an object rolls over a surface  
🗑
Fluid Friction   occurs when an object moves through a fluid or a gas  
🗑
Newton's First Law of Motion   objects at rest will stay at rest and objects in motion will stay in motion at a constant velocity unless acted on by an unbalanced force  
🗑
Newton's Second Law of Motion   the net force acting on an object is equal to the product of the object's mass and acceleration  
🗑
Newton's Third Law of Motion   for every action force there is a reaction force that is equal, but acts in the opposite direction  
🗑
Law of Universal Gravitation   all objects in the universe are attracted to each other; strength of attraction depends on the objects' masses and distance away from each other  
🗑
Freefall   the motion of an object when GRAVITY is the only force acting on it  
🗑
Terminal Velocity   the greatest velocity of a falling object; occurs when the force of GRAVITY is EQUAL to the force of FRICTION  
🗑
Weight   a measure of the force of of GRAVITY on an object  
🗑
Mass   the amount of matter in something  
🗑
Centripetal Force   the force that is pulling an object in a circular motion towards the center of the circle  
🗑
Geosynchronous Orbit   occurs when an object orbits another object at a rate equal to the 2nd object's rate of motion  
🗑


   

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.
