Front

What is force?

Back

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

Front

What is motion?

Back

The change in position of an object over time.

Front

What is mass?

Back

The amount of matter in an object, usually measured in grams or kilograms.

Front

What is gravity?

Back

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

Front

What is friction?

Back

A force that opposes the motion of an object when it comes into contact with another surface.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and motion?

Back

Objects with greater mass require more force to move the same distance as lighter objects.

Front

What happens when two objects of different masses are pushed with the same force?

Back

The lighter object will accelerate more and travel farther than the heavier object.

Front

What is a ramp?

Back

An inclined surface that allows objects to move from a higher to a lower position.

Front

How does height affect the speed of an object on a ramp?

Back

Higher ramps can give objects more potential energy, which can increase their speed as they roll down.

Front

What is a newton?

Back

A unit of measurement for force in the metric system.
