Understanding Force and Motion

Front

Force

Back

A push or pull on an object

Front

Motion

Back

Change in position of an object over time

Front

Newton's First Law

Back

An object at rest stays at rest, an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force

Front

Newton's Second Law

Back

F = ma (Force equals mass times acceleration)

Front

Newton's Third Law

Back

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction

Front

Inertia

Back

Resistance of an object to change its state of motion

Front

Friction

Back

Force that opposes motion between two surfaces in contact

Front

Mass

Back

Amount of matter in an object

Front

Acceleration

Back

Change in velocity (speed and direction) of an object.

Front

True or False: Friction can slow down motion

Back

True
