5th Grade Force and Motion

Front

What pulls a ball back to earth?

Back

Gravity is the force that pulls objects toward the center of the Earth.

Front

_______ is a force that acts between two objects which are touching. This force slows any movement between the two objects.

Back

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

Front

If all of the above blocks are the same mass, which of the following would slide across the surface the fastest as a result of the forces acting on it?

Back

Block A would slide the fastest due to the least amount of friction acting on it.

Front

The girls in this picture represent ________ forces.

Back

Balanced forces are equal in size and opposite in direction, resulting in no change in motion.

Front

Friction helps objects to move easier. True or False?

Back

False. Friction opposes motion and can make it harder for objects to move.

Front

What is the definition of force?

Back

A force is a push or pull that can cause an object to move, stop, or change direction.

Front

What is motion?

Back

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

Front

What is an example of an unbalanced force?

Back

An unbalanced force occurs when two forces acting on an object are not equal, causing the object to accelerate.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy an object has due to its motion.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy in an object due to its position or state.
