Back

Gravity is the force that pulls objects toward the Earth, causing them to fall.

Front

What is a PUSH or PULL of an object?

Back

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

Front

Which surface would have the least amount of friction?

Back

An ice skating rink has the least amount of friction, allowing for smooth gliding.

Front

How fast was a train moving if it traveled 500 miles in 4 hours? (speed = distance ÷ time)

Back

125 miles per hour.

Front

Why is it harder for the boy to get down the hill?

Back

Friction makes it harder to move down the hill.

Front

What is motion?

Back

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

Front

What is gravity?

Back

Gravity is the force that attracts two bodies toward each other, especially the force that pulls objects toward the Earth.

Front

What is speed?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time, often measured in miles per hour.

Front

What is a balanced force?

Back

Balanced forces are equal in size and opposite in direction, resulting in no change in motion.
