force vocab
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Simple Machines | Simple Machines make work easier |
| Mass | Mass is the amount of matter that makes up an object |
| Force | Force is a push or pull |
| Friction | Friction is a force that causes objects in motion to speed up or show down when two surfaces rub together |
| Speed | Speed is a measure of how far an object moves in a certain amount of time |
| Motion | A motion is a movement or a change in an object is located. The more friction presents the more an object in motion slows down |
| Position | Position is the place where an object is located. The lighter an object, the less force you must apply to get it in motion |
| Gravity | is a force that pulls things toward earth. the more force applied the more energy is released |
| how do forces make things change | forces make things speed up slow down or change direction without a force a still object remains still and a moving object would keep moving |
| push vs friction and gravity | forces are constantly battling each other unbalanced forces move and unbalanced forces don't |
| how do you know if there is more mass | The more mass something has more force required to move it. |
| Types of forces | Magnetic force, pushes and pulls, gravity, air resistance, friction. Friction opposes motion between two touching objects friction slows things down. |
| how far can it go | the more force that is applied the farther the object will go. |
| gravity | Gravity pulls everything toward earth the more mass something has the more gravity acts on it if you drop a bowling ball and a beach ball of a building the bowling ball would hit the ground first because it has more mass |
| Unbalanced forces | happen when one side has greater force in one direction this will cause the object to move in the direction the greater force is going |
| Balanced forces | are two equal forces acting in the opposite direction. because it is balanced the object does not move. |
