Grade 6 Science Standards Flashcards

Front

Universal Law of Gravitation

Back

Gravitational force is directly proportional to mass and inversely proportional to distance.

Front

Acceleration

Back

Change in Motion

Front

Net Force

Back

Sum of Forces Acting on an object

Front

Inertia

Back

Property of object to resist change in motion

Front

Force

Back

push or pull on an object.

Front

Motion

Back

change in position of an object

Front

Balanced Forces

Back

that are equal in size and opposite in direction; no motion change.

Front

Unbalanced Forces

Back

that cause a change in motion.

Front

Newton’s First Law

Back

object at rest stays at rest unless acted on by a force.

Front

Newton’s Second Law Equation

Back

F = ma (Force = mass × acceleration)

Heavier objects are slower
