• A balanced force

What is GRAVITY?

• A force that pulls objects toward you

• A force that helps keep our feet on the ground

What happens when there is an UNBALANCED force?

• The object moves

• The object does NOT move

• There is too much friction

What does friction do?

(there is more than one answer!)

• Slows down an object

• Makes an object go faster

• Stops an object from moving

What causes an object to move?

• Friction

• Force

• Motion

• Gravity

What is speed?

• The rate at which a moving object travels

• A force that pulls objects together

• Something that slows down an object

How do you know when there is a BALANCED force?

• The object is moving fast

• There is friction

• There is no movement

A __________ is a push or pull that makes an object move

• Gravity

• Push

• Force

• Speed
