Front

What is force?

Back

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

Front

What factors affect how far an object will roll when pushed with the same force?

Back

The weight and shape of the object, as well as the surface it rolls on, affect how far it will roll.

Front

What is the effect of a spring on a marble when launched?

Back

A spring stores potential energy when compressed and converts it to kinetic energy to launch the marble.

Front

What does it mean for an object to move in a straight line?

Back

Moving in a straight line means the object is traveling in one direction without changing its path.

Front

What is speed?

Back

Speed is the distance an object travels in a certain amount of time.

Front

How can you determine the distance traveled by an object from a graph?

Back

You can read the distance on the vertical axis of the graph at the time you are interested in.

Front

What happens to the speed of a toy car on a ramp as the height increases?

Back

The higher the ramp, the faster the car will travel at the bottom due to increased gravitational potential energy.

Front

What is the difference between distance and displacement?

Back

Distance is the total path traveled, while displacement is the shortest path from the starting point to the endpoint.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy an object has due to its motion.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy in an object due to its position or state.
