5th Grade Force STAAR Review

Front

What is force?

Back

Force is a push or pull on an object resulting from the object's interaction with another object.

Front

What unit is force measured in?

Back

Force is measured in Newtons (N).

Front

What is the relationship between mass and force required to move an object?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the more force is required to move it.

Front

What is friction?

Back

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

Front

How does surface texture affect the force needed to move an object?

Back

Rough surfaces create more friction, requiring more force to move an object compared to smooth surfaces.

Front

What is a spring scale used for?

Back

A spring scale is used to measure the force exerted on an object, typically in Newtons.

Front

What is the principle of conservation of energy in the context of a spring?

Back

The principle states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed; in a spring, potential energy is converted to kinetic energy when released.

Front

How does mass affect the height a sphere reaches when launched?

Back

Generally, a heavier mass will not reach the same height as a lighter mass when launched with the same force due to gravitational pull.

Front

What factors can affect the results of an experiment testing material strength?

Back

Factors include the thickness of the materials, the height from which the object is dropped, and the type of material being tested.

Front

What is the purpose of a controlled experiment?

Back

A controlled experiment is designed to test a single variable while keeping all other variables constant to determine its effect.
