Force
#1

 

 

What is force?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Force is a push or a pull

#2

 

 

Name the force that slows down motion.

 

 

The force that slows down motion is called friction.

#3

 

 

 

Which force is always pulling  - never pushing- objects?

 

 

 

The pulling force is called Gravity.

 

 

 

 

 

 

#4

 

 

What do we call two or more forces that are act on objects and cause them to move?

 

 

Unbalanced forces

#5

 

 

What is it called when  all forces are acting an object an object and there is NO change in motion?

 

 

 

Balanced Forces

Gravity 1
#1

The pull of gravitiy depends on two things. What are they?

mass and distance

#2

Which object below would have the greatest gravitational pull?

 

feather

dump truck

couch

dump truck

#3

Three objects are on the moon:  ping-pong ball, watermelon and a bowling ball. 

 

They  all have parachutes and are dropped from the top of the rocket.

 

Which object will fall to the moon the fastest?

#5

Because there is no air on the moon, objects fall

 

A. at different speeds

B. at the same speed

C  at slower speed

B.  at the same speed

Gravity 2
#1

Is weight and mass the same thing?

Nope

#2

Pretend you landed on Jupiter. What would change:

 

A.  weight

B.  Mass 

C.  weight and mass

D. neither would change

A.  only your weight would change.  

#3

Name the scientist that proved objects fall at the same rate.

Galileo

#4

Name one reason why gravity is a good thing.

Answers will vary.

#5

Explain why a feather falls to the ground more slowiy than a bowling ball.

It has more air friction.

Final Question

 

 

 

Explain why a hammer and a feather fall at different speeds on earth but not on the moon.

 

 

Threre is no atmosphere on the moon so there is no air friction to slow things down. All objects fall at the same rate on the moon.
