5th Grade: Motion and Stability

Front

What is motion in physics?

Back

Motion is the change in position of an object over time.

Front

What is stability in the context of motion?

Back

Stability refers to the ability of an object to maintain its position or return to it after being disturbed.

Front

What factors affect the force required to move an object?

Back

The mass of the object and the friction between the object and the surface affect the force required to move it.

Front

How does mass affect the speed of an object when force is applied?

Back

An increase in mass generally results in a decrease in speed for the same amount of applied force.

Front

What is friction?

Back

Friction is the resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another.

Front

Which material would likely create the most friction when sliding?

Back

A rough material, such as sandpaper, would create the most friction.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and force in Newton's second law of motion?

Back

Newton's second law states that force equals mass times acceleration (F=ma), meaning more mass requires more force to achieve the same acceleration.

Front

What happens to the speed of an object if additional mass is added?

Back

The speed of the object will likely decrease if additional mass is added, assuming the same force is applied.

Front

What is the role of time in measuring motion?

Back

Time is a crucial factor in measuring motion, as it helps determine the speed and distance traveled by an object.

Front

How does the surface type affect the motion of an object?

Back

The type of surface affects the amount of friction, which in turn influences how easily an object can move.
