force cards

Opportunity/Strategy for you to Review
Complete note cards for the following list and use as a means to review. LEAVE THEM AT HOME, BY YOUR BED!!!!!!!!!
WRITE NEATLY SO THAT THE CARDS ARE A TOOL TO HELP YOU MEMORIZE MATERIAL.



Force: anything that changes the speed of an object; a push or a pull.

Net Force: overall force acting on an object

Unbalanced Forces: change the motion of an object

Balanced Forces: will not change the motion of an object.

Newton’s First Law of Motion: An object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will
remain in motion until some unbalanced force acts on it.

Newton’s Second Law of Motion: F = ma

Newton’s Third Law of Motion: For every action there is an equal an opposite reaction.

Momentum: a quantity of motion; Momentum = mass x velocity

Conservation of Momentum: the total momentum before and after objects interact is
the same.
