Front

What is Newton's 1st Law of Motion?

Back

An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Front

What is friction?

Back

A force that opposes motion between two surfaces in contact.

Front

What is an unbalanced force?

Back

A force that causes a change in the motion of an object; it is not equal and opposite to other forces acting on the object.

Front

What happens when two forces are balanced?

Back

The object will not move; the forces cancel each other out.

Front

What does Newton's 3rd Law state?

Back

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Front

What is the definition of force?

Back

A push or pull on an object resulting from the object's interaction with another object.

Front

What is gravitational force?

Back

The force of attraction between two masses; it pulls objects toward each other.

Front

What is the difference between mass and weight?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force exerted by gravity on that mass.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

The rate of change of velocity of an object; it can be caused by a change in speed or direction.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.
