5.P.1.1 Force & Motion

Front

What is force?

Back

A push or pull on an object that can cause it to move, stop, or change direction.

Front

What is motion?

Back

The change in position of an object over time.

Front

What is friction?

Back

A force that opposes the motion of an object, often caused by contact with another surface.

Front

What is gravity?

Back

A force that pulls objects toward each other, such as the force that pulls us toward the Earth.

Front

What is mass?

Back

The amount of matter in an object, usually measured in kilograms.

Front

What is momentum?

Back

The quantity of motion an object has, which depends on its mass and velocity.

Front

How does mass affect force?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the more force is needed to change its motion.

Front

What tools can measure motion?

Back

A stopwatch, measuring tape, and compass are useful for measuring motion.

Front

What happens to an object in motion when friction is present?

Back

Friction slows down or stops the motion of the object.

Front

What is the relationship between force and acceleration?

Back

The greater the force applied to an object, the greater the acceleration it will experience.
