1

What is required to change the velocity of an object?

A force is required to change an object's velocity.

2

What does an object’s change in velocity depend on?

It depends on the direction of the force exerted on the object.

3

What effect does a stronger force have on velocity?

A stronger force causes a greater change in velocity.

4

How does cause-and-effect help in science?

It helps you infer what led to a particular result.

5

What happens when you push or pull an unmoving object?

It can make the object start moving.

6

What happens when you push or pull a moving object?

It can make the object speed up, slow down, stop, or change direction.

7

Do all forces have the same strength?

No, forces vary in strength.

8

What does the strength of a force affect?

It affects how much an object's velocity changes.

9

What is friction?

A force exerted in the opposite direction of motion, causing velocity to decrease.
