Understanding Forces and Motion

Front

Force

Back

push or pull on an object

Front

Motion

Back

in position of an object over time

Front

Speed

Back

traveled per unit of time

Front

Velocity

Back

with direction

Front

Acceleration

Back

in velocity over time

Front

Newton's 1st Law

Back

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

Front

Newton's 2nd Law

Back

latex="F = ma"> (Force equals mass times acceleration)

Front

Newton's 3rd Law

Back

every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction

Front

Formula for Speed

Back

latex="s = \frac{d}{t}"> (Speed equals distance divided by time)

Front

Formula for Velocity

Back

latex="v = \frac{\Delta x}{t}"> (Velocity equals change in position divided by time)
