What is a PUSH or PULL on an object?
The two types of force
CONTACT or NON-CONTACT FORCE?
A boy using his foot to kick a soccer ball.
A. Contact
B. Non-Contact
B. CONTACT FORCE
The force that acts directly against the direction of motion, usually when two surfaces come in contact and rub against each other. A stopping force.
What is friction?

A. Friction causes the golf ball to roll forwards and backwards.
B. Friction resists motion and decreases how far the ball rolls, causing it to stop.
C. Friction increases how fast the ball rolls.
D. Friction causes the ball to bounce.

If these boys are each pulling with the force of 10 newtons. What will happen?
The boy in blue will win.
They will not move at all.
The boy in red will win.
They will not move at all. Balanced force is being applied.
What will happen when the South poles of two different magnets face each other?
They will repel.
True or False?
An object must be holding still to be balanced. Explain your reasoning and provide an example.
False - an object can be moving and still be balanced as long as their is no change in the object's position or motion.
Example: a car going 60 mph North and continuing with the same speed and direction.
True or False?
Gravity is the force that pushes two object away from each other.
False
Gravity pulls two objects towards each other.

A) The force of gravity which is acting in the same direction as the arrow
B) The force of friction which is acting in the same direction as the arrow
C) The force of gravity which is acting in the opposite direction as the arrow
D) The force of friction which is acting in the opposite direction as the arrow
D) The force of friction which is acting in the opposite direction as the arrow
Which of the following statements is true?
a. Balanced forces cause a change in position.
b. Unbalanced forces cause a change in position.
c. Forces do not affect position.
Unbalanced forces cause a change in position.
CONTACT FORCE or NON-CONTACT FORCE:
Using your fingers to play the piano.
A. Contact Force
B. Non-Contact Force
A. Contact Force
True or false.
A force always causes a change in motion.
False - if the forces acting on an object are balanced, there will NOT be a change in motion. If the forces are unbalanced, there WILL be a change in motion.
