Definition
Momentum   The product of an objects mass and its velocity  
🗑
Formula for Momentum   M=pv  
🗑
Law of Conservation of momentum   The total momentum of any group of objects remains the same unless outside forces also act on the objects  
🗑
Force   A push or a pull that gives energy to an object  
🗑
Units of force   Forces that 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 Forces   The net force acting on an object is zero  
🗑

🗑
Newtons First law of motion   Objects at rest will stay at rest and objects in motion at a constant velocity unless acted on by an unbalanced force  
🗑

🗑
Weight   A measure of the force of GRAVITY on an object  
🗑
Mass   The object of matter is something  
🗑

🗑


   

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.
