5.6D Forces

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 mass?

Back

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

Front

How does mass affect force?

Back

More mass requires more force to move the object.

Front

What is a spring scale?

Back

A tool used to measure the force applied to an object, typically in newtons.

Front

What is the relationship between force and motion?

Back

Force causes an object to start moving, stop moving, or change direction.

Front

What is friction?

Back

The resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another.

Front

How does surface texture affect force?

Back

Smoother surfaces generally require less force to move an object compared to rough surfaces.

Front

What is the purpose of conducting multiple trials in an experiment?

Back

To ensure accuracy and reliability of the results by minimizing the impact of random errors.

Front

What is a reasonable conclusion from an experiment measuring force and mass?

Back

More mass will require more force to move the object.

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.
