| Why is it important to keep controlled variables the same | To make sure that the test is fair and only one thing is affected |
| How do you write a hypothesis | Start with if I do this, then this will happen |
| What is a force | When energy is applied to something often causing change |
| What happens when energy is applied to an object | It can make the object move, stop or change shape or direction |
| What are the three main forces | Pull, push and twist |
| What can forces cause an object to do | Accelerate, decelerate, change direction or change shape |
| What units are forces measured in | Newtons |
| Name two devices that can measure force | Spring balanced and scale |
| What does the length of a force arrow represent | The size of the force |
| What does the direction of a force arrow represent | The direction the force is applied |
| Can multipole forces act on an object at the same time | yes |
| When are forces considered balenced | When the forces on a object cancel each other out |
| What happens to an object when forces are balenced | It stays still or moves in a constant motion |
| When are forces unbalenced | When the forces do not cancel each other out |
| What happens to an object when forces and considered unbalenced | It changes speed or direction |
| What direction must arrows go in for forces to cancel each other out | Opposite directions |
| Who developed the three laws of motion? | Sir Isaac Newton. |
