5th grade review of forces and motion units

        Help!  

Term
Definition/description
force   any push or pull that causes an object to move, stop, or change directions  
🗑
friction   force that opposes, or acts against, motion when two surfaces rub against each other  
🗑
magnetism   the force of repulsion or attraction between poles of magnets  
🗑
gravitation   force that pulls all objects in the universe toward one another  
🗑
balanced forces   forces equal in size and opposite in direction  
🗑
unbalanced forces   when one force is greater than its opposite force  
🗑
acceleration   when an object starts to move, speeds up, slows down, stops, or changes direction  
🗑
net force   combined forces  
🗑
work   use of a force to move an object through a distance  
🗑
power   amount of work done for each unit of time  
🗑
machine   something that makes work seem easier by changing the size or direction of the force  
🗑
position   an object's place, or location  
🗑
speed   measure of the distance an object moves in a given amount of time  
🗑
velocity   an object's speed in a particular direction  
🗑
acceleration   any change in velocity  
🗑
momentum   measure of how hard it is to slow down or stop an object  
🗑
inertia   property of matter that keeps it moving in a straight line or keeps it at rest  
🗑
Newton's first law of motion   an object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will continue moving in a straight line at a constant speed until an outside force acts on it  
🗑
Newton's second law of motion   an object's acceleration depends on the size and direction of the force acting on it and on the mass of the object  
🗑
Newton's third law of motion   For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction  
🗑
orbit   the path one body in space takes as it revolves around another body  
🗑


   

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.
