Force and Motion 5th grade

Front

What are controlled variables in an experiment?

Back

Controlled variables are the variables that should stay the same during an experiment to ensure a fair test.

Front

What is friction?

Back

Friction is a force that resists motion when two surfaces rub together.

Front

What force pulls objects down to the Earth?

Back

Gravity is the force that causes everything to be pulled down to the Earth.

Front

What is a pull in terms of force?

Back

A pull is a force that moves an object closer to another object.

Front

What is the dependent variable in an experiment?

Back

The dependent variable is what is measured in the experiment; it is the result of the experiment.

Front

What is the definition of force?

Back

Force is a push or pull on an object that can cause it to change its motion.

Front

What is motion?

Back

Motion is the change in position of an object over time.

Front

What is the difference between mass and weight?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on that mass.

Front

What is Newton's First Law of Motion?

Back

Newton's First Law states that an object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by a net external force.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object.
