1. Interactive Flashcards: How to Customize the Flashcards
If you want to change the text on both sides of the cards:
Change the text on the blue cards by clicking on each card, deleting what’s there, and inserting the new text
Select all the blue cards by holding CTRL and clicking on each one
Right click and then select “send to back” and “send to back” again (the yellow cards should be in the front now)
Change the text in the yellow cards by clicking on each one, deleting the text there, and inserting the new text
Repeat the process of sending the yellow cards to the back (select them all and right click and send to back)
If you want to change the color of the cards:
Select the blue cards (use process above)
Go to the Format tab and then Shape Fill and choose a different color, gradient, or picture fill
Use the process above to send the top cards to the back, then use the same method to change the color of the back cards
Send the back cards to the back again so you are left with the original cards in the front

Position, x
(s for IB)
The rate of change of position
The rate of change of position
Velocity, v
The rate of change of velocity
The rate of change of velocity
Acceleration, a
Force, F
A push or pull
A push or pull
A change in position
Displacement, Δx
A change in position
A property of matter that causes it to resist changes in velocity
Inertia
A property of matter that causes it to resist changes in velocity
A contact force that acts perpendicular to the surface
Normal Force, N or FN
A contact force that acts perpendicular to the surface
Gravity or Weight, W or Fg
The attractive force between Earth and an object
The attractive force between Earth and an object
Friction, f
The force that opposes motion due to contact with a surface.
Mass times velocity
Momentum, p

3. The slope of the x-t graph The y-intercept of the x-t graph
Velocity, v
The slope of the x-t graph
The y-intercept of the x-t graph
Initial position, x0
Acceleration, a
The slope of the v-t graph
The y-intercept of the v-t graph
Initial velocity, v0 (u for IB)
Objects maintain constant velocity unless a net external force acts upon them
Newton’s 1st law – the law of inertia
Newton’s 2nd law – the law of acceleration
The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to Fnet and inversely proportional to mass
Newton’s 3rd law – the law of reciprocity
The force that object 1 exerts on object 2 is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force that object 2 exerts back on object 1
A quantity with magnitude only
Scalar
A quantity with both magnitude and direction
Vector
The force exerted by a string or spring
Tension, T or FT
Net Force, Fnet
The amount of unbalanced force that causes the object to accelerate
Kinetic Energy
The energy of motion
