  • are fossil fuels renewable or non renewable energy sources?
    NON RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES, they will disappear in the future
  • What produces carbon dioxide and other gases that pollute the air and water?
    Fossil fuels
  • The mass of an object divided by its volume is called what?
    density
  • name one form of transport that is more eco friendly
    electric car
  • What is the difference between contact forces and non contact forces?
    Contact forces are when there is physical contact with an object, non contact forces do not need to have physical contact for an object to move
  • Give an example of fluid friction
    Swimming
  • what is an alternative renewable energy source made from natural waste?
    biofuel
  • What are the three kinds of friction?
    Sliding friction, rolling friction, and fluid friction
  • What is the name for the force that makes an object slow down or stop?
    Friction
  • How can a steel ship float? Explain.
    Steel ships are heavy but they are large. Density is mass/ volume. Steel ships have a large volume so their density decreases
  • objects that move on the surface of water must be able to ______
    float
  • What two forces does an object need to fly?
    lift and thrust
  • Give an example of rolling friction
    Skateboarding
  • Explain the difference in air pressure above and below the wing of a plane?
    Air passes above and below the wings of the plane. The air below the wing moves slowly so the pressure is higher; This causes an upward force.
  • Give an example of sliding friction
    Snowboarding
  • From the pie chart on page 108 which form of transport produces the most CO2 globally in a year?
    Cars at 42 %
  • Forces, such as _______ and ________ cause objects to move
    pushing and pulling
  • true or false? the shape of a boat has an effect on the amount of friction it experiences
    true; boats can move faster through the water depending on their shapes.
  • Give an example of a non- contact force
    gravity
  • Why do airplanes have a streamlined shape?
    The shape of the plane helps minimize air resistance
