Gravity, Friction, Magnetism

Front

What is Magnetism?

Back

Magnetism is a force that can attract or repel certain materials, like iron and steel, and is produced by magnets.

Front

What does Gravity do?

Back

Gravity is a force that pulls objects toward each other, keeping planets in orbit around the Sun and causing objects to fall to the ground.

Front

What is Friction?

Back

Friction is a force that opposes the motion of an object when it slides or rolls over a surface.

Front

How does mass affect Gravity?

Back

The more mass an object has, the stronger its gravitational pull.

Front

What is an example of Magnetism in everyday life?

Back

Using a refrigerator magnet to hold notes or pictures on the fridge.

Front

What happens when you rub your hands together?

Back

Rubbing your hands together creates friction, which generates heat.

Front

What keeps the Moon in orbit around the Earth?

Back

Gravity is the force that keeps the Moon in orbit around the Earth.

Front

What is the relationship between distance and Gravity?

Back

The farther away two objects are from each other, the weaker the gravitational pull between them.

Front

What is an example of Friction?

Back

When you push a book across a table, friction slows it down.

Front

What materials are attracted to magnets?

Back

Materials like iron, nickel, and cobalt are attracted to magnets.
