Force

Gravity is a type of force. What gives an object gravitational force?

• The object's mass

• The object's color

• The object's distance from the sun

• The object's distance from the moon

What force brings objects back to the Earth after being thrown into the air?

• Magnetic Force

• Gravitational Force

• Friction

• Push

How does the solar system illustrate gravitational force?

• The solar system illustrates gravitational force because all of the planets revolve around the sun because the sun is so massive.

• The solar system illustrates gravitational force because all of the planets revolve around the Earth because the Earth is so massive.

• The solar system illustrates gravitational force because all of the planets revolve around the sun because the sun is so bright.

• The solar system illustrates gravitational force because all of the planets revolve around the sun because the sun is so dense.

Magnetism is a type of force. What gives magnets their force?

• A magnet's force comes from the north/south pole alignment, always drawing objects with opposite (north/south) pole alignments together.

• A magnet's force comes from the north/south pole alignment, always drawing objects with the same (south/south or north/north) pole alignments together.

• A magnet's force comes from the mass of the object.

• A magnet's force comes from the atoms of the object.

What force brings two metal (iron, nickel) objects together?

• Gravitational Force

• Magnetic Force

• Friction

• Push

How does this image demonstrate magnetism?

• The two magnets have the same poles, so the metal shavings are repelling (pushing) away from each other.

• The two magnets have the same poles, so the metal shavings are attracting (pulling) each other.

• The two magnets have the opposite poles, so the metal shavings are repelling (pushing) away from each other.

• The two magnets have the opposite poles, so the metal shavings are attracting (pulling) each other.

What does it mean for a force to work over a distance?

• The objects do not need to be touching in order to exert force on each other.

• The objects have to be within 6 feet apart in order to exert force on each other.

• The objects have to be touching in order to exert force on each other.

• Force cannot work over a distance.

What do gravitational force and magnetism have in common?

• They both are based off of mass.

• They both are based off of north/south pole alignments.

• They both illustrate how force can work over a distance.

• They both illustrate how objects need to be touching in order to exert force on each other.
