6Question

A soccer ball is rolling across the floor. What could you do to make it stop?

7Question

8Question

A child pushes a box to the right, and another child pushes the same box to the left with equal force. What will most likely happen?

9Question

Explain how gravity and friction are different forces.

10Question

A student wants to move a heavy box across the classroom floor. The box will not move when one student pushes it. What are two ways the students could make the box move more easily?

Answer Key

#	Answer
1	A force is a push or a pull.
2	Opening a door.
3	Tugging a rope.
4	Gravity.
5	A force can start moving an object, stop it, speed it up, slow it down, or change its direction.
6	Apply a force to it, such as kicking it gently in the opposite direction or blocking it with your foot.
7	The carpet creates more friction, which slows the toy car down.
8	The box will most likely stay in place because the forces are balanced.
9	Gravity pulls objects downward toward Earth, while friction is a force that acts when surfaces rub together and slows movement.
10	They could add another person to push with more force, or they could reduce friction by moving the box on a smoother surface or using wheels.
