Front

What is force?

Back

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

Front

What is gravity?

Back

Gravity is a force that pulls objects toward each other, such as the pull of the Earth on objects near its surface.

Front

What factors affect how far an object rolls?

Back

The amount of force applied, the surface it rolls on, and the object's mass all affect how far it rolls.

Front

How does battery power work in toys?

Back

Battery power provides electrical energy that can be converted into motion, allowing toys to move.

Front

What is the relationship between height and speed in a moving object?

Back

As an object moves down from a higher point, gravity increases its speed.

Front

What is the most important factor in kicking a soccer ball far?

Back

The force of the kick is the most important factor in determining how far the soccer ball travels.

Front

What happens to a ball thrown in the air?

Back

The ball comes back down due to the pull of gravity from the Earth.

Front

What is the effect of gravity on objects in space?

Back

Gravity pulls objects toward larger masses, like Earth, as they approach it.

Front

What is friction?

Back

Friction is a force that opposes motion between two surfaces that are in contact.

Front

How does mass affect gravity?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the stronger its gravitational pull.
