6th Grade Science: Unit 03 Flashcards

Front

Fill in the blank: ________ is force that is applied on an object by a person or another object.

Back

applied force

Front

Fill in the blank: ________ are equal and opposite forces on an object that result in no change in position, direction, or motion; combined net force equals zero.

Back

balanced forces

Front

Fill in the blank: ________ is a force that acts in the opposite direction to movement.

Back

friction

Front

Fill in the blank: ________ is a force that pulls objects toward each other.

Back

gravity

Front

Fill in the blank: ________ is a force that pushes or pulls a magnetic material across a distance.

Back

magnetism

Front

Fill in the blank: ________ is the measurement of the total forces exerted on an object, measured in newtons (n).

Back

net force

Front

Fill in the blank: ________ states that for every force applied to an object, there is a simultaneous force applied that is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

Back

Newton’s Third Law of Motion

Front

Fill in the blank: ________ is a force exerted on an object that is in contact with another object.

Back

normal force

Front

Fill in the blank: ________ are forces that occur in opposite directions and equal strengths at the point of contact between objects.

Back

simultaneous force pairs

Front

Fill in the blank: ________ are unequal forces on an object that may result in a change in motion; calculated net force is not equal to zero.

Back

unbalanced forces
