EOG Prep: Force and Motion 5th Grade NC.5.P.1

Front

What are balanced forces?

Back

Balanced forces are forces that are equal in size but opposite in direction, resulting in no change in motion. An example is a car moving at a constant speed.

Front

What is an example of a non-contact force?

Back

A non-contact force is a force that does not touch the object to make it move or change direction, such as gravity or magnetism.

Front

What is needed to calculate the speed of an object?

Back

To calculate the speed of an object, you need to know the time it took to travel and the distance covered.

Front

What tools can be used to measure speed?

Back

To measure speed, you can use a measuring tape to find distance and a stopwatch to measure time.

Front

What is motion?

Back

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

Front

What is force?

Back

A force is a push or pull that can cause an object to move, stop, or change direction.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is how fast an object is moving, while velocity includes both speed and direction.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate at which an object changes its velocity, which can be an increase or decrease in speed.

Front

What is gravity?

Back

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

Front

What is friction?

Back

Friction is a force that opposes motion between two surfaces that are in contact.
