Forces and Motion--5th Grade

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or state. It is not moving.

Front

What is balanced force?

Back

Balanced force occurs when two forces acting on an object are equal in size but opposite in direction, resulting in no movement.

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed can be calculated using the formula: Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

What is a force?

Back

A force is a push or pull that can cause an object to move, stop, or change direction.

Front

What is gravity?

Back

Gravity is the force that pulls objects toward the Earth, giving them weight.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion.

Front

What is friction?

Back

Friction is a force that opposes the motion of an object, caused by the contact between surfaces.

Front

What is an unbalanced force?

Back

An unbalanced force occurs when two forces acting on an object are not equal, causing the object to move.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate at which an object changes its velocity, which can be an increase or decrease in speed.

Front

What is momentum?

Back

Momentum is the product of an object's mass and its velocity, representing how much motion it has.
