McC 8 ESL Physics

Force, Motion, Newton's Laws

TermDefinition
Acceleration Change in velocity divided by the amount of time needed for that change to take place; occurs when an object speeds up, slows down or changes directions
Balanced Force Describes forces that are equal but opposite in directions; cancel each other out and no change in motion occurs
Displacement Measures the distance and direction from a starting point to an ending point
Distance The entire path an object travels
Force A push or a pull; has a size and direction
Friction Any force that resists motion
Gravity Force of attraction between all objects in the universe
Inertia An object’s tendency to remain at rest or keep moving with constant velocity
Speed Distance traveled divided by the time needed to travel that distance; Speed = Distance/Time
Unbalanced Forces Unequal forces acting on an object – results in a change in the object’s motion in the direction of the larger force
Velocity Speed and direction of a moving body
Newton's 1st Law An object will remain at rest or move in a straight line with constant speed unless acted upon by an unbalanced force
Newton's 2nd Law An object acted upon by an unbalanced force will accelerate in the direction of the force; Force = Mass X Acceleration
Newton's 3rd Law Forces always act in equal but opposite pairs; Action and Reaction Pair example: bat touches ball and ball touches bat

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.
