1
Forces/Motion
2
Force A push or a pull
3
Speed The distance an object moves in a given amount of time.
4
Motion A change in the position of an object as it is moving
5
Gravity A force that attracts objects to each other. The force of gravity holds you to Earth Gravity is a PULLING force
6
Work The measure of force it takes to move an object a certain distance.
7
Weight A measure of the pull of gravity on an object.
8
Magnet An object that pulls objects made from iron toward it
9
Friction A force that slows down a moving object when it rubs against another object
10
Lever A simple machine that helps move things with less force. (hammer)
11
Wedge A simple machine used to cut or split things. (ax)
12
Wheel and Axle A simple machine used to move things more easily. (bicycle)
13
Screw A simple machine used to hold things together. (screw)
14
Inclined Plane A simple machine that is a flat surface with one end higher than the other. (ramp)
15
Pulley A simple machine used to lift things. (flag)
