Answer Key

#	Answer
1	A force is a push or a pull.
2	A pull.
3	A push.
4	Push.
5	Pull.
6	A push.
7	Pull.
8	Push.
9	A door, a chair, or a toy car.
10	A rope, a drawer, or a wagon.
11	It can make the ball move.
12	It can make it go faster, slower, or stop.
13	It may move faster or farther.
14	It will move the sled a little bit.
15	A big push.
16	The object may not move or may stay still.
17	Use a push in the opposite direction or block it with a hand.
18	Gravity.
19	It pulls.
20	Both can fall to the ground, but a ball falls more easily.
21	Friction helps your shoes grip the floor so you do not slip.
22	A force that slows motion when surfaces rub together.
23	Grass makes more friction.
24	Sandpaper.
25	It would be hard to walk and you might slip.
26	A pull.
27	Yes.
28	No.
29	A pull.
30	A push.
31	To the right.
32	To the left.
33	How fast something moves.
34	The way something is moving.
35	It may swing higher or keep moving.
36	A book resting on a table.
37	The table pushes up and holds it up against gravity.
38	Gravity.
39	Friction.
40	Push it harder or from a better starting point.
41	The pull from the rope and friction, or gravity and the pull from the rope.
42	It takes more force to move it.
43	Gravity.
44	It slows down and may stop because of friction and air resistance.
45	Air resistance.
46	A real car.
47	Your foot applies a push force to the ball.
48	A pull can bring an object closer or move it to a new place.
49	For example, kicking, throwing, or hitting a ball uses force.
50	Pushes and pulls start or change motion, friction slows objects, and gravity pulls objects down.
