The force that made the washer drop into the cup after the index card was flicked.
What is gravity?
100
Any changing of position of an object.
What is motion?
100
A force due to rubbing. It can change the way things move.
What is friction?
100
Used to measure the distance our toy car traveled. There are 100 of these in a meter.
What is a centimeter?
200
A type of force needed to move an object toward you.
What is a pull?
200
*Bonus Question*
(hint: Gravity affects both of these)
1) The measurement of how fast an object travels from one place to another.
2) The change in the path of a moving object.
1) What is speed?
2) What is change of direction?
200
Describes the type of motion of an object. Roll, hop, jump, skip, bounce, fly, run, and walk are some examples.
What is a motion term?
200
This type of friction helps a bird fly and helps a parachute work.
What is air friction?
200
A metric unit of measurement used to measure distance. It is equal to 1000 meters.
What is kilometer?
300
A push or a pull on something. This is needed to change the motion of an object.
What is force?
300
Bill threw a baseball from left field to first base. Gravity caused the baseball to travel in this type of path. (hint: use direction terms)
What is a curved or arched path?
300
Describes where the object is moving. Right, left, north, south, up, and down are all examples.
What is a direction term?
300
These terms describe how you would move around in a house sprayed with non-friction spray.
What is sliding, crashing, gliding, (ect.)?
300
The properties of things that can be changed in an investigation.
What is a variable?
400
Forces are needed to change this. This is the way in which something is placed or arranged. These terms include away, toward, above, below, behind, between, and through.
What is position?
400
There is 1/6 the amount of gravity here than there is on Earth.
What is the moon?
400
Measurement of how far an object moved from one point to another (or how far apart objects are from another).
What is distance?
400
When added to an object, this increases the amount of friction. (hint: this was added to the block set up in our friction investigation)
What is mass?
400
An object in motion will remain in motion at the same speed and in the same direction unless a force acts on it.
What is the second part of Newton's First Law of Motion?
500
This type of force is needed to roll a tennis ball across the floor.
What is a push?
500
Measurement of the force of gravity on the mass of an object.
What is weight?
500
Describes the amount of time it takes for an object to move a certain distance. Fast, faster, slow, slower, slowest are examples.
What is a speed term?
500
Describes the way things move through the air. If something is __________, it moves easily through the air because it minimizes the amount of air friction.
What are aerodynamics?
500
