forces in motion

QuestionAnswer
Gravity a fundamental physical force that is responsible for interactions which occur because of mass between particles, between aggregations of matter (such as stars and planets), and between particles (such as photons) and aggregations of matter, that is 10-39
Mass is a measurement of the amount of matter something contains.
weight The amount that a thing weighs
Push to press against with force in order to drive or impel
pull to exert force upon so as to cause or tend to cause motion toward the force
Friction the rubbing of one body against another
Force strength or energy exerted or brought to bear
motion an act, process, or instance of changing place
velocity : quickness of motion : SPEED
Inertia the property of matter by which it retains its state of rest or its velocity along a straight line so long as it is not acted upon by an external force.
Speed the rate at which someone or something moves or travels.
Position the place where someone or something is in relation to other people or things.
Axis the imaginary straight line that something (such as the Earth) turns around.
Unbalanced Force are not equal, and they always cause the motion of an object to change the speed and/or direction that it is moving
Acceleration the rate at which the speed of a moving object changes over time
Direction the rate at which the speed of a moving object changes over time
Air resistance Air resistance is defined as the force that acts in the opposite direction to an object moving through the air
Momentum a property of a moving body that the body has by virtue of its mass and motion and that is equal to the product of the body's mass and velocity
Resist to exert force in opposition
Deceleration to reduce the speed of
Newton’s First Law every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force.
Newton’s Second Law force is equal to mass times acceleration
Newton’s Third Law for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
