Forces and Changes in Motion

What is a NON-CONTACT force?

• A push or pull force where the objects are not touching

• A push force where the objects are touching.

• An example would be pulling open a door.

• The only type of force that exists in the world.

What is the difference between MASS and WEIGHT?

• Mass DOES NOT change if the force of gravity changes. Weight DOES change if the force of gravity changes.

• Mass DOES change if the force of gravity changes. Weight DOES NOT change if the force of gravity changes.

• Mass is related to gravity while weight is not.

• If an object is SMALLER, it always has more mass and less weight than a LARGER object.

What are the three NON-CONTACT forces we are studying this unit?

• Gravity, friction, air resistance

• Forces, motion, human body systems

• Friction, electricity, muscular system

• Gravity, electricity, and magnetism

If each object has the same mass, which pair has the strongest gravitational attraction?

• The first, because it appears to weigh the most.
• The first, because the arrows are thickest.
• The  second, because it has an even balance of weight and distance.
• The first, because the objects are closest together.
