2. Do you agree with the statement? Force can make an object move faster or slower or change directions. YES NO

3. Do you agree with the statement? The gravity of all objects, big and small, can be felt. YES NO

4. Do you agree with the statement? Unlike electricity and magnetism, gravity can only pull an object. YES NO

5. Do you agree with the statement? Work has occurred whether or not an object is moving. YES NO

6. Push and Pulls A force is a push or pull that acts on an object and is measured in newtons (N). Gravity Earth’s gravity pulls objects toward its center, for example gravity is what keeps satellites in orbit around Earth or apples falling from trees. An objects weight is the amount of gravitational force between it and Earth, gravitational forces decrease the higher you go from Earth’s surface. A pendulum swings because of gravity, when it swings upward the force of gravity slows its upward path and pulls it back down.

7. Magnetism and Electricity Magnetism is a force that pushes and pulls other objects and has two poles (North and South), which opposite poles attract and same poles repel or push away. Electric forces push and pull between objects with electrical charges, negative when they gain electrons and positive when they lose electrons, this happens when objects are rubbed together.

8. Gravity, Magnetism and Electricity Gravity, electricity and magnetism can act on an object without touching it. Magnetism and electricity can be blocked using some materials and can push or pull. Gravity cannot be blocked and is only a pull.

9. Friction Friction is force that results when two objects rub together that can slow them down or keep them from moving. Work and Power BRAIN POP: Work
