Mass (weight) and distance.

Front

What is weight?

Back

Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object.

Back

It means the object is not moving and the forces acting on it are balanced.

How does the strength of a kick affect a soccer ball?

Back

The strength of the kick determines how fast and far the ball will move.

Front

What is an example of an unbalanced force?

Back

Pushing a toy car harder on one side makes it move.

Back

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

Front

What happens to gravity as you move farther from the Earth?

Back

Gravity becomes weaker the farther you are from the Earth.

Front

What is an example of balanced forces?

Back

A book resting on a table is an example of balanced forces.
