Force/Motion
100

These two forces act on objects without touching them.

What are gravity and magnetism?

100

Newton's First Law

an object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion until a force acts upon it.

100

These are three ways to describe motion.

These are three ways to describe motion.What are position, direction, and speed?

100

The  higher  the  velocity  and  mass,  the  more  momentum  an  object  has. One  way  to  think  of momentum is that momentum measures how hard it will be to stop the object once it is in motion.  Momentum can be transferred when two objects collide.

What is Momentum?

100

You can apply this to reduce friction between two surfaces.

What is a lubricant?

200

The needle of a compass moves because of Earth's ______.

What is magnetism?

200

Force equals mass times acceleration.

What is Newton's Second Law?

200

Three words to describe position are ____________, _____________, ________________.

What are behind, beside, and below? or: ahead of, in front of, above?

200

The changes in an object’s motion. This can be speeding up, slowing down or changing direction. An object’s acceleration depends on the object’s mass and the force applied.

What is acceleration?

200

A ball has two forces acting on it. One force is pushing it to the left and a larger force is pushing it to the right. This is the direction the ball will move.

What is right?

300

This force opposes motion between two surfaces that are touching.

What is friction?


300

When you jump or your legs apply a force to the ground _________ this is an example of which of Newton's laws?

Newton's 3rd law of Motion.

300

These are three words that describe direction.

What are north, south, and east? also: left or right?

300

Energy of motion.

What is Kinetic Energy?

300

An object is in a state of ____________ when all the forces acting on it balance each other.

What is equilibrium?

400

_____________ forces have a net force of zero.

What are balanced?

400

When forces act on an object without changing its motion.

What is balanced force?

400

These types of forces cause motion.

What are unbalanced forces?

400

The way we learn and study the world around us through a process of steps. (Six Giant Hippos Eat Red & Orange Candy)

  What is scientific method?

400

A ball is rolling and eventually comes to a stop. __________ is the force most likely responsible for this.

What is friction?

500

These are three variables that affect friction.

What are texture, mass, and lubrication?

500

The push of an object on a second object then the push of the second object back on the first object

What are action and reaction forces?

500

You put two blocks on a table. Block A moves toward Block B without anything touching it. This feature of Block B can explain why this is happening.

What is magnetic?

500

Example....F=MA F = force M = mass A = acceleration

Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion.

500

If there are two objects with the same mass and one is acted on by a greater force than the other one, the one acted on by a greater force will have the greatest change in ________________.

What is speed?
