What does the arrow labeled "Friction" represent in the diagram?
The force that helps the car move forward
The force that makes it difficult for the car to move
The force that pulls the car upward
The force that pushes the car down
What is gravity?
A force that pulls objects toward the center of Earth.
A force that pushes objects away from Earth.
A force that makes objects float.
A force that makes objects move faster.
Which of the following is measured in grams or kilograms?
The mass of an item
The speed of an item
The color of an item
The temperature of an item
What does friction do when an object moves across a surface?
It holds back the motion and slows or stops movement.
It makes the object move faster.
It changes the color of the object.
It makes the object lighter.
Which surface creates the most friction for a moving object?
Sandy surface
Ice or glass surface
Unpolished wood
What is buoyancy?
The force that enables objects to float on water.
The force that pulls objects to the ground.
The force that slows down moving objects.
The force that measures the mass of objects.
Why do objects fall to the ground on Earth?
Because gravity pulls them toward the center of Earth.
Because friction pushes them down.
Because buoyancy lifts them up.
Because air resistance makes them fall.
What is weight?
How much force is needed to pull an object, measured in Newtons.
How much space an object takes up, measured in liters.
How fast an object moves, measured in meters per second.
How hot an object is, measured in degrees.
When is it easier to lift an object, according to buoyancy?
Underwater
On land
In the air
On a sandy surface

Repelling
Attracting
Melting
Sticking
Which of the following is a magnetic object?

The ability to fly
The power to attract objects
Which force pulls objects towards the ground?
Gravity
Magnetism
Repel
Friction
What is friction, and how does it affect the distance a marble travels?
Friction is a force that slows things down; it makes the marble travel a shorter distance.
Friction is a force that speeds things up; it makes the marble travel farther.
Friction is a type of magnetism; it makes the marble stick to the surface.
Friction is a kind of gravity; it pulls the marble down.
Why was it harder to pick up ice cubes compared to sugar cubes?
Because ice cubes are slippery and have less friction.
Because sugar cubes are heavier.
Because ice cubes are sticky.
Because sugar cubes are cold.
Why do we need friction?
To make things heavier
To help objects move smoothly without stopping
To stop or slow down moving objects
To make objects float
Which tool can be used to measure the force needed to move an object?
Ruler
Force meter
Thermometer
Stopwatch
What happens when you shape plasticine to test if it floats or sinks in water?
The shape does not matter
The shape can help it float or sink
Only color matters
It always floats
What is the difference between mass and weight?
Mass is how much space something takes up, weight is how heavy it is because of gravity
Mass is how heavy something is, weight is how much space it takes up
Mass and weight are the same thing
Mass is only for liquids, weight is for solids
How does air resistance affect falling objects?
It makes them fall faster
It slows them down as they fall
It makes them heavier

Weigh them before dropping
Color them differently
How can you tell if a force is balanced or unbalanced?
If the object changes direction, the forces are balanced
If the object does not move, the forces are unbalanced
If the object moves or changes speed, the forces are unbalanced
If the object is heavy, the forces are balanced
