Back

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

Front

What is an Unbalanced Force?

Back

Forces that are not equal in size and cause a change in motion.

Front

What is a Balanced Force?

Back

Forces that are equal in size and opposite in direction, resulting in no change in motion.

Front

What happens when equal forces are applied to different objects?

Back

The object with less mass will move farther than the object with more mass.

Front

What is the effect of mass on motion?

Back

More mass means more force is needed to move the object.

Front

What is the direction of motion when two forces act on an object?

Back

The object will move in the direction of the larger force.

Front

What is an example of gravity in action?

Back

A pencil falling to the ground when dropped.
