Force and Motion 5.6D

Front

What is a simple experimental investigation?

Back

A simple experimental investigation tests one variable to observe its effect.

Front

What is the purpose of using a spring scale in an experiment?

Back

A spring scale measures the amount of force required to pull an object.

Front

How does the type of shoe affect the amount of force required to pull it?

Back

Different types of shoes have varying levels of friction, affecting the force needed to pull them.

Front

What additional scientific tool is needed to measure distance in an experiment?

Back

A meter stick is needed to measure the distance an object is moved.

Front

What is friction?

Back

Friction is the force that opposes the motion of two surfaces in contact.

Front

What type of surface increases friction?

Back

A rough surface increases friction between two objects.

Front

What happens to the motion of an object when equal force is applied for a certain time?

Back

The object will accelerate and move a distance proportional to the force applied and the time.

Front

What factors can affect the distance an object moves when pushed?

Back

The mass of the object, the surface texture, and the amount of force applied can all affect the distance moved.

Front

What is the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration?

Back

According to Newton's second law, force equals mass times acceleration (F=ma).

Front

How does mass affect the force required to move an object?

Back

Greater mass requires more force to achieve the same acceleration.
