5.6D Forces

Front

What is a force?

Back

A force is a push or pull that can change the motion of an object.

Front

What is friction?

Back

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

Front

How does surface texture affect friction?

Back

Smoother surfaces create less friction, while rougher surfaces create more friction.

Front

What is mass?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, usually measured in grams or kilograms.

Front

How does mass affect the force needed to move an object?

Back

More mass requires more force to move the object.

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 the relationship between height and impact force?

Back

The higher an object is dropped from, the greater the impact force it will have when it hits the ground.

Front

What is a spring scale?

Back

A spring scale is a tool used to measure the force applied to an object, often in units of newtons.

Front

What is an experiment?

Back

An experiment is a scientific procedure to test a hypothesis by collecting data.

Front

What is a hypothesis?

Back

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