Forces Grade 6 Quiz

Arjun, William, and Charlotte are discussing the two main types of forces. What are they?

• Contact forces and non-contact forces

• Push forces and pull forces

• Gravitational forces and electromagnetic forces

• Static forces and dynamic forces

Which of the following activities demonstrate muscular force and frictional force?

• Mia jumping and Daniel swimming

• Evelyn running and Mia sitting

• Lifting an object and rubbing hands together

• Throwing a ball and catching a ball

Can you name two non-contact forces and explain how they work? Make it fun and engaging for Sophia, Maya, and Ethan!

• Friction - It is a force that occurs when two objects are in direct contact and rub against each other.

• Tension - It is a force that occurs when a string or rope is pulled tight, and it only works when there is direct contact with the object being pulled.

• 1. Gravity - It is a force of attraction between two objects with mass, and it works over a distance without direct contact. 2. Magnetic force - It is a force that acts on objects with magnetic properties, and it can attract or repel objects without physical contact.

How are gravity and weight related? Let's explore this concept with Hannah, Aria, and Noah!

• Gravity and weight are not related at all

• Gravity and weight are related because weight is the measure of the force of gravity on an object.

• Gravity and weight are related because weight is the measure of the force of friction on an object

• Weight is the measure of the force of magnetism on an object

What does the arrow in a force diagram represent?

• Color and shape of the force

• Speed and distance of the force

• Temperature and pressure of the force

• Direction and magnitude of the force

Hey Aiden, Grace, and Mason! How does a contact force differ from a non-contact force?

• Contact force is weaker than non-contact force.

• Contact force involves direct physical contact, while non-contact force does not.

• Contact force only occurs in outer space, while non-contact force occurs on Earth.

• Contact force involves magnets, while non-contact force does not.

What happens to a falling object when it meets air resistance?

• The falling object becomes heavier.

• The falling object remains unaffected.

• The falling object slows down.

• The falling object speeds up.

Can you explain the concept of balanced and unbalanced forces in a fun way, Emma, Zoe, and Grace?

• Balanced forces always result in acceleration, while unbalanced forces do not cause any change in motion.

• Forces that are equal in size and opposite in direction are balanced, while forces that are unequal in size and/or direction are unbalanced.

• Forces that are equal in size and direction are balanced, while forces that are unequal in size and direction are unbalanced.

• Balanced forces cause objects to move, while unbalanced forces cause objects to stay still.

How does the force of gravity change as you move away from the Earth's surface?

• Increases

• Stays the same

• Becomes zero

• Decreases

Hey Liam, Henry, and David! In a force diagram, what does the size of the arrow indicate?

• Type of the force

• Magnitude or strength of the force

• Direction of the force

• Color of the force
