5.6D & 3.6B Force and Experimental Design

Front

What is friction?

Back

Friction is a force that opposes the motion of an object when it comes into contact with another surface.

Front

What is the unit of measurement for force?

Back

The unit of measurement for force is Newtons.

Front

What is motion?

Back

Motion is the change in position of an object over time.

Front

Why is it important to perform multiple trials during an experiment?

Back

Performing multiple trials ensures that the results are more accurate and reliable.

Front

What should scientists do after completing an experiment?

Back

After completing an experiment, scientists should record and analyze data.

Front

What is gravity?

Back

Gravity is a force that pulls objects toward each other, such as the Earth pulling objects toward its center.

Front

What is an experiment?

Back

An experiment is a test conducted to investigate a hypothesis or to observe a phenomenon.

Front

What is a hypothesis?

Back

A hypothesis is a proposed explanation for a phenomenon, which can be tested through experiments.

Front

What is the purpose of a spring scale?

Back

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

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.
