LESSON 7. HOW FRICTIONAL AND GRAVITATIONAL FORCES AFFECT MOTION
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Friction Opposes Motion can cause objects to: | slow down (change in speed) stop (change in movement) |
| Friction Helps Control Movement | can also help objects move in a controlled way. |
| Gravity Causes Released Objects to Fall | When an object is released from a height, gravity pulls it downward and causes it to fall. |
| Gravity Increases the Speed of Objects | As the object falls, its speed increases. |
| Gravity Changes the Direction of an Upward-moving Objects | As the object falls, its direction changes. |
| A toy car rolling on the floor gradually slows down. What force is affecting the car? 2. A ball is dropped from a table. How does gravity affect its movement? | 1.Friction 2.Gravity causes the ball to change from rest to downward motion. |
| 3. A ball is thrown upward and then comes back down. What happens to its direction? 4. A ball rolls across the ground and eventually stops. What happens to its speed? What force causes this change? | 3. Its direction changes from upward to downward. 4. Its speed decreases because of friction. |
| 4. A ball rolls across the ground and eventually stops. What happens to its speed? What force causes this change? 5. A ball rolls down a slope and slows down as it reaches the ground. What two forces are acting on the ball? | 4. Its speed decreases because of friction. 5.Gravity and friction. |
