force and motion

force and motion vocab

QuestionAnswer
What are simple machines? Simple machines make work easier
What is mass? Mass is the amount of matter that makes up an object
What is force? Force is a push or pull
What is friction? Friction is a force that causes objects in motion to speed up or slow down when two surfaces rub together
What is speed? Speed is a measure of how far an object moves in a certain amount of time.
What is motion? Motion is movement, or a change in an object's position.
How does friction affect motion? The more friction present, the more an object in motion slows down
What is position? Position is the place where an object is located.
How does weight affect how much force you use ? The lighter an object, the less force you must apply to get it in motion.
What is gravity? Gravity is a force that pulls things to Earth
How does energy affect force? The more force applied, the more energy is released.
How do forces affect speed? Forces can make things speed up, slow down or change direction. Without a force, a still object remains still and a moving object would keep moving
How are forces constantly interacting? Forces are constantly battling each other. Unbalanced forces move and balanced forces don't.
How does force affect how far an object goes? The more force that is applied, the further the object goes.
What are unbalanced forces? Unbalanced forces happen when on side has greater force in one direction. This will cause 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. Because it is balanced the object does not move.
What does force have to do with mass? The more mass something has, the more force required to move it
What are types of forces? Magnetic forces push and pull, while gravity has air resistance and friction.
