  • What unit do we use to measure force?
    Newtons
  • True or False: Friction speeds up moving objects.
    False: Friction slows down moving objects.
  • An object can change its motion from rolling friction into....
    Sliding friction
  • Two ... forces keep everything in place when an object is static.
    balanced
  • ...can be any object that is rotating / turning on an axis.
    Rolling friction
  • Resistance of a fluid to change in shape is called...
    Viscosity
  • What is the thing that keeps everything on Earth from flying into the air?
    The force of Gravity (not friction!)
  • What is a force?
    True.A push or pull applied to an object.
  • Is the friction more or less when the ground is bumpy (not flat)?
    More! Smooth flat surfaces have less or no bumps and they make it easier to push objects.
  • Is it easier to stop a bike on a sunny day or a rainy day?
    It's easier to brake on a sunny day, ground is slippery on rainy days, so you get less friction = harder to stop.
  • True or False: Heavier objects require more force to move and stop.
    True
  • True or False: Friction allows us to grip objects and to stand up.
    True.
  • ... takes place when an object touches other object.
    Friction
  • Main difference between mass and weight is...
    Weight is a force!
  • What is the type of force when 2 surfaces rub together?
    Friction
  • ... is the amount of matter in an object.
    Mass
  • True or False: Lighter objects require less force to stop than heavier objects.
    True.
  • Type of friction force that happens when a body moves through water.
    Fluid resistance
  • ... is the force of gravity on a person or object at the surface of a planet.
    Weight
