| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Force | A push or a pull on an object |
| Contact force | a push or a pull on one object by another that is touching it |
| Noncontact force | a force that one object can apply to another object without touching it |
| 3 noncontact forces | gravity, magnetism, electricity |
| Measure mass and weight | Kilograms and Newtons |
| Difference between mass and weight | Matter is constant everywhere while weight can change (location) |
| How is gravitational force affected by mass and distance? | Mass: mass of objects increase → gravitational force between them increases Distance: gravitational force decreases as distance increases |
| What is friction? | A force that resists the motion of two surfaces that are touching |
| 3 kinds of friction | Sliding, fluid, static |
| Gravity | attractive force that exists between all objects that have mass |
| Magnetism | Magnetism: attracts certain metals to magnets |
| Weight | gravitational force exerted on an object |
| Mass | the amount of matter in an object |
| Lubrication | decreases friction |
