Forces & Motion
This invisible force pulls everything toward the Earth.
What is Gravity?
This is created when you rub things together and can cause a small shock.
What is static electricity?
This is the part of an atom that has a negative charge.
What is an electron?
Gravity gets stronger when these two conditions are met.
What is when things are closer and have more mass?
This is the unit scientists use to measure force.
What is the newton?
This force slows down moving things, like a rolling ball.
What is Friction?
This type of charge is found on electrons.
What is a negative charge?
This is how we measure the amount of matter in an object.
What is mass?
This happens to the strength of gravity as you move farther from Earth.
What is it gets weaker?
This scientific law explains why objects stay at rest or in motion unless a force acts on them.
What is Newton’s First Law?
This happens when the forces on an object are unbalanced.
What is motion (or the object changes motion)?
These forces can attract or repel without touching.
What is electric and magnetic force?
This changes depending on gravity and is measured in newtons.
What is weight?
This object has a stronger gravitational pull: a feather or a car.
What is a car?
This is what you call a force that happens when two surfaces rub.
What is friction?
This law explains why a person moves backward when they jump off a swing.
What is Newton’s Third Law?
This happens when like poles of two magnets face each other.
What is they repel?
This part of a magnet is where its force is the strongest.
What are the poles?
This is how gravity helps planets stay in orbit.
What is gravitational pull?
This is what happens to electric force when objects get farther apart.
What is it gets weaker?
This is what we call the total of all forces acting on an object.
What is net force?
This term describes rearranging charges without touching, just by being nearby.
What is induction?
This is a group of tiny magnets inside a material that all point in the same direction.
What is a magnetic domain?
This invisible area around a planet affects other objects.
What is a gravitational field?
This is why a balloon sticks to a wall after you rub it on your head.
What is because of static electricity?
