Term 2 Benchmark Review - PS2.1-PS2.5

Front

What is gravitational pull?

Back

Gravitational pull is the force that attracts two bodies towards each other, such as the Earth pulling objects towards its center.

Front

How does distance affect gravitational pull?

Back

The closer an object is to a massive body (like Earth), the stronger the gravitational pull it experiences.

Front

What happens to a ball when it bounces?

Back

When a ball bounces, it loses some energy with each bounce, causing it to reach a lower height each time.

Front

What is the role of force in pulling objects?

Back

Force is a push or pull that can cause an object to move or change its motion. The greater the force, the more an object will accelerate.

Front

What is the difference between mass and weight?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force exerted by gravity on that mass.

Front

What is the effect of gravity on falling objects?

Back

Gravity causes all objects to fall towards the Earth at the same rate, regardless of their mass.

Front

What is a force diagram?

Back

A force diagram visually represents all the forces acting on an object, showing their direction and magnitude.

Front

What is the principle of conservation of energy?

Back

The principle states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy in an object due to its position or state, such as a ball held at a height.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion, which depends on its mass and speed.
