Forces

Force is a

• A push or a pull

• A force of attraction between objects that pulls objects towards each other.

• A force that works against motion between two surfaces that are in contact.

• A contact force of friction that opposes the motion of objects moving in the air.

Air resistance is the

• A push or a pull

• A force of attraction between objects that pulls objects towards each other.

• A force that works against motion between two surfaces that are in contact.

• A contact force of friction that opposes the motion of objects moving in the air.

Magnetism is a

Balanced forces is

• Equal forces acting on an object in opposite directions and do not cause a change in motion.

• A force of attraction between objects that pulls objects towards each other.

• an invisible force or field caused by the unique properties of certain materials that can attract or repel metals

• A contact force of friction that opposes the motion of objects moving in the air.

Unbalanced forces is

• Equal forces acting on an object in opposite directions and do not cause a change in motion.

• A force of attraction between objects that pulls objects towards each other.

• Forces that are unequal in size or direction and that change an object's motion.

• A contact force of friction that opposes the motion of objects moving in the air.

A student compares the amount of force used by his classmates to push a toy car down a ramp. What would be the best way to compare this force?

• measure the distance each time the car comes to a stop

• measure the amount of time it takes the car to travel down the ramp

• measure the distance the car travels with each push
