Forces and Motion Quiz

Forces

• A force is a push or a pull that can change an object’s motion
• A push is a force that moves an object away from you.
• A pull is a force that moves an object toward you.
• Balanced forces are equal forces that push or pull in opposite directions, resulting in no movement of the object.
• Unbalanced forces are unequal forces that push or pull in opposite directions, causing the object to move.
• Friction is a force that opposes motion, making it harder for an object to move.
• Gravity is a force that pulls everything towards the center of the Earth.

Motion

• Motion is the change in an object's position.
• A pattern of motion exists when a moving object repeats the same movement over and over again.

Magnets

• All magnets have a North pole and a South pole.
• Magnetic fields are invisible areas around magnets where they can exert forces, affecting other objects.
• Magnetism can be used to solve various problems:
  • Holding objects to a refrigerator
  • Picking up small objects from the floor
  • Using a compass to determine North
• Iron is an example of a material that is magnetic.
• Magnets do not need to touch an object to affect it.
• Objects with the same magnetic charge repel each other.
• The largest magnet on Earth is the planet itself.

Forces

• A force is a push or a pull.
• A push moves an object away from you.
• A pull moves an object towards you.
• Balanced forces are two equal forces pushing or pulling in opposite directions, resulting in no movement.
• Unbalanced forces are two forces pushing or pulling in opposite directions with one force being greater, resulting in movement.
• Friction is a force resisting the motion of an object.
• Gravity is a force pulling objects towards the Earth.

Motion

• Motion is a change in position of an object.
• A pattern of motion is created when a moving object repeats the same pattern.

Magnets

• All magnets have a north and a south pole.
• Magnets attract and repel objects.
• A magnetic field is the invisible space where a magnet can exert its force.
• Magnets can be used to hold objects, pick up small objects, and determine north with a compass.
• Iron is a magnetic material.
• Magnets don't need to touch an object to apply a force.
• Objects with the same charge repel each other.
• Earth is the biggest magnet on the planet.
