How will the cart move and is it balanced or unbalanced?
Unbalanced and will move to the right.
Any push or pull that causes an object to move, stop, or change the speed or direction is called
A Force
We have the following surfaces, cardboard, carpet, ice and sidewalk. If our hypothesis is " If we have a smooth surface, than the car will go farther." Was the hypothesis supported by hr results of the experiment?
It was supported
Potential Energy
stored energy or energy at rest
Describe the speed of an object

What is Kinetic Energy
How do you describe speed?
Speed should include units such as kilometers or miles per second/minute/hour.
Which is most likely true of an object at rest?
a)It has multiple forces acting on it that add to zero net force.
b)It is being held by a force that opposes motion, such as gravity.
c)It is resting on a smooth surface with no friction.
d)It is experiencing forces that do not sum zero net force.
It has multiple forces acting on it that add to zero net force.
A student lifted ball 1 and let it go. They observed that when Ball 1 hit ball 2, only ball 5 moved. What did they observe?
The energy transferred through all the balls to ball 5.
Which of the following could cause friction?
a. Sliding a book across a table.
b. Empty box sitting on a flat table.
c. Kids rubbing hands together.
d. a school bus parked.
What is sliding a book across a table and Kids rubbing hands together.
What is force is a __________ or _________?
A push or pull
What does a force cause?
A force can cause an object to move, stop, change speed, or change direction.
How many forces can act on an object?
More than one force can act on an object
How does mass affect forces?
The more mass an object has, the greater the force to move it.
What is friction?
A force that slows or stops motion when objects rub together
