LockeD! - 5.6D - Forces and Motion #1

Front

What is the effect of force on the motion of an object?

Back

Force causes an object to accelerate, change direction, or change shape. The greater the force applied, the greater the acceleration of the object.

Front

What is friction and how does it affect motion?

Back

Friction is a force that opposes the motion of an object. It can slow down or stop moving objects, and its effect varies depending on the surfaces in contact.

Front

How can you measure the distance an object travels when a force is applied?

Back

You can measure the distance by marking the starting point and the endpoint, then using a ruler or measuring tape to find the length between them.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and acceleration when a constant force is applied?

Back

According to Newton's second law, acceleration is inversely proportional to mass when a constant force is applied. A larger mass results in less acceleration.

Front

What is the role of air resistance in the motion of objects?

Back

Air resistance is a type of friction that acts against the motion of objects moving through the air, affecting their speed and distance traveled.

Front

How does the size of a balloon affect the distance a toy car travels when released?

Back

A larger balloon can hold more air, which can create a greater force when released, potentially allowing the car to travel farther.

Front

What factors can influence the speed of a rolling object?

Back

Factors include the object's mass, the surface it rolls on, the angle of the ramp, and the amount of force applied.

Front

What is the principle of equal force applied to multiple objects?

Back

When equal force is applied to multiple objects, the distance each object moves will depend on its mass and the friction acting on it.

Front

How can you conduct an experiment to test the effect of different surfaces on rolling objects?

Back

You can roll objects of equal size and mass across different surfaces (e.g., carpet, wood, tile) and measure the distance each travels.

Front

What is the significance of conducting repeated trials in an experiment?

Back

Repeated trials help ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results by minimizing the effects of random errors.
