When does an object in motion slow down more?

An object in motion slows down more when there's more friction present.

When an object is lighter, do you need to apply more or less force to it to get it in motion?

You need to apply less force to get it in motion.

What happens when you apply more force to something?

When you apply more force, more energy is released and the object will go farther.

Since force makes things speed up, slow down, or change direction, what would happen without a force?

Without a force, a still object remains still and a moving object would keep moving.

When an object has more mass, would you need more or less force to move it?

You would need more force to make something with more mass move.

What happens when you have unbalanced forces or balanced forces?

Unbalanced forces move and balanced forces don't move.

What types of forces are there?

There are magnetic forces, pushes and pulls, gravity, air resistance, and friction.

What does friction do?

Friction opposes motion between two touching objects. Friction slows things down.

Gravity pulls things toward Earth. Does gravity act more on something with more mass, or something with less mass?

Gravity acts more on something with more mass.

When do unbalanced forces happen?

Unbalanced forces happen when one side has greater force in one direction, and this causes the object to move in the direction the greater force is going.

What are balanced forces?

Balanced forces are two equal forces acting in the opposite direction, and since it is balanced, the object does not move.
