Front

What is gravitational force?

Back

Gravitational force is the attraction between two objects with mass. It pulls objects toward each other, such as the Earth pulling objects toward its center.

Front

What is frictional force?

Back

Frictional force is the resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another. It can slow down or stop the motion of objects.

Front

What is the role of force in motion?

Back

Force is a push or pull that can cause an object to move, stop, or change direction. It is essential for changing the state of motion of an object.

Front

What is mass?

Back

Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. It affects how much gravitational force is exerted on the object.

Front

What is momentum?

Back

Momentum is the quantity of motion an object has, which depends on its mass and velocity. It is calculated as the product of mass and velocity.

Front

How does slope affect motion?

Back

The slope of a ramp affects how fast an object will roll down it. A steeper slope usually results in a faster descent.

Front

What is an example of increasing friction?

Back

Spreading sand onto an icy road increases friction, helping vehicles to grip the surface better.

Front

What is the effect of gravity on a thrown ball?

Back

Gravity pulls the ball downward, affecting its trajectory and causing it to eventually fall to the ground.

Front

What is the difference between mass and weight?

Back

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

Front

What is an example of a force?

Back

An example of a force is pushing a door open or pulling a wagon.
