PS.5.2.1 (5.P.1.4) #1: Schoolnet

Front

What is force?

Back

A push or pull on an object that can cause it to move, stop, or change direction.

Front

What happens when equal forces are applied to two identical objects?

Back

Both objects will move the same distance if the forces are equal.

Front

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

Back

An object with less mass will move farther than an object with greater mass when the same force is applied.

Front

What is the relationship between force and the weight of an object?

Back

The greater the weight (mass) of an object, the more force is needed to move it.

Front

What is friction?

Back

A force that opposes the motion of an object, making it harder to move.

Front

How can you reduce the force needed to move an object?

Back

By reducing friction, using wheels, or breaking the object into smaller parts.

Front

What is the effect of increasing the mass of an object on the force required to move it?

Back

Increasing the mass of an object increases the force required to move it.

Front

What is the principle of equal and opposite forces?

Back

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Front

What is the difference between mass and weight?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on that mass.

Front

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

Back

Smoother surfaces create less friction, requiring less force to move an object.
