Front

What is friction?

Back

The force that opposes the motion of two surfaces in contact.

Front

How does mass affect motion?

Back

Heavier objects require more force to move the same distance as lighter objects.

Front

What happens when equal forces are applied to different masses?

Back

The lighter object will move farther than the heavier object.

Front

What is gravity?

Back

The force that pulls objects toward each other, such as the Earth pulling us down.

Front

What is the relationship between force and motion?

Back

Force causes an object to move or change its motion.

Front

What type of surface creates more friction?

Back

Rough surfaces create more friction than smooth surfaces.

Front

What is an example of a force that can stop a moving object?

Back

Friction can stop a moving object.

Front

What is the effect of applying force over time?

Back

Applying force over time can increase the distance an object moves.
