  1. True
  2. False
Grade 5 Forces and Motion
Gravity, magnetism, and friction are all          forces         .
Grade 5 Forces and Motion
Jasmyn can run 50 yards in 10 seconds and Jaylah can run 100 yards in 20 seconds. Who has a faster speed? (Speed equals distance divided by time.)
  1. Jasmyn has a faster speed.
  2. Jaylah has a faster speed.
  3. They both have the same speed.
Grade 5 Forces and Motion
No change in force is necessary to
  1. start an object moving.
  2. stop an object from moving.
  3. cause a change in the motion of an object.
  4. keep an object doing what it is already doing.
Grade 5 Forces and Motion
Forces are measured in units called          newtons          .
Grade 5 Forces and Motion
A force called friction keeps                                                                   objects that are touching from sliding past each other easily                                                                 .
Grade 5 Forces and Motion
If you are measuring how fast a car is going your are measuring the car's         Speed        .
Grade 5 Forces and Motion
When there is a change in the gravitational pull, weight also changes.
  1. True
  2. False
Grade 5 Forces and Motion
The measure of the force that gravity exerts on an object is called         weight         and can be measured with a spring scale.
Grade 5 Forces and Motion
An object with a greater mass has a lesser gravitational pull.
  1. True
  2. False
Grade 5 Forces and Motion
Most structures must be able to withstand two common types of forces. They are               compression               and           tension          .
Grade 5 Forces and Motion
You and your family go to the park. If your mom and your younger brother take turns pushing you on the swing, most likely, your acceleration
  1. will be the same regardless of who pushes you.
  2. will be greater when your little brother pushes you.
  3. will be greater when your mom pushes you.
  4. will be less when your mom pushes you.
Grade 5 Forces and Motion
A and B are two objects with masses 125 kg and 180 kg respectively, then
  1. both will have the same inertia.
  2. B will have more inertia.
  3. A will have more inertia.
Grade 5 Forces and Motion
Every object in the universe attracts every other object. This is know as the                                Law of Universal Gravitation                               .
Grade 5 Forces and Motion
An object that has kinetic energy must be
  1. lifted above Earth's surface.
  2. in motion.
  3. at rest.
  4. none of the above
Grade 5 Forces and Motion
Momentum is equal to
  1. the force exerted by a moving object.
  2. gravity.
  3. the inertia of a moving object.
  4. mass times the velocity of an object.
