Front

What is force?

Back

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

Front

What is motion?

Back

The change in position of an object over time.

Front

What is speed?

Back

The distance an object travels in a certain amount of time.

Front

What is average speed?

Back

The total distance traveled divided by the total time taken.

Front

What is friction?

Back

A force that opposes the motion of an object, causing it to slow down or stop.

Front

What happens to the speed of a ball thrown straight up?

Back

It goes up at a constant speed, stops, and then increases speed as it comes down.

Front

What can affect the speed of an object?

Back

Forces such as friction, gravity, and applied force.

Front

What is gravity?

Back

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

Front

How does friction affect motion?

Back

Increased friction slows down the motion of an object.

Front

What is the relationship between distance and speed?

Back

If distance increases while time remains constant, speed increases.
