Let's solve each question by matching the definitions with the correct terms from the word bank:
Word Bank:
work, force, gravity, motion, friction, rest, newton, spring scale
---
1.
Any push or pull
→ This is the definition of
force.
✔ Answer: force
2.
A force that resists motion when objects touch
→ This describes
friction, which opposes movement between surfaces in contact.
✔ Answer: friction
3.
A force that pulls two objects toward each other
→ This is
gravity, the attractive force between masses.
✔ Answer: gravity
4.
Any change of position
→ This defines
motion.
✔ Answer: motion
5.
When an object is not in motion
→ This means the object is at
rest.
✔ Answer: rest
6.
A tool used to measure force
→ A
spring scale measures force (like weight) using a spring mechanism.
✔ Answer: spring scale
7.
The result of a force moving an object a distance
→ This is the definition of
work (Work = Force × Distance).
✔ Answer: work
8.
The metric unit of measure for force
→ The unit is the
newton (N), named after Isaac Newton.
✔ Answer: newton
---
✔ Final Answers:
1. force
2. friction
3. gravity
4. motion
5. rest
6. spring scale
7. work
8. newton
