Patterns of Motion & Friction

Front

What can patterns of motion be used to do?

Back

Patterns of motion can be used to make predictions.

Front

What causes pendulums to form neat patterns?

Back

Different lengths of strings cause pendulums to form neat patterns.

Front

What happens to the speed of a long pendulum compared to a short one?

Back

The long pendulum will swing slowest compared to the short one.

Front

What is produced by the friction of two surfaces rubbing against one another?

Back

Heat is produced by the friction of two surfaces.

Front

Which pendulum will swing the fastest?

Back

The shortest pendulum will swing the fastest.

Front

What is friction?

Back

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

Front

How does gravity affect motion?

Back

Gravity pulls objects towards the Earth, affecting their motion.

Front

What is a pendulum?

Back

A pendulum is a weight hung from a fixed point that swings back and forth.

Front

What is the relationship between the length of a pendulum and its swing speed?

Back

The longer the pendulum, the slower it swings.

Front

What is motion?

Back

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