Explanation:
Let’s go through each clue one by one and match it to the correct word from the options.
1. *“A measure of how fast or slow something is moving.”*
→ That’s
speed.
Options: A. direction, B. force, C. pull, D. speed →
✔ D
2. *“The measure of length. How far.”*
→ That’s
distance.
Options: A. motion, B. smooth, C. distance, D. push →
✔ C
3. *“A force away from you.”*
→ Pushing means applying force *away* from yourself.
Options: A. gravity, B. speed, C. push, D. magnet →
✔ C
4. *“A push or a pull.”*
→ That’s the definition of
force.
Options: A. weight, B. force, C. rough, D. force → Wait—both A and D are listed as “force”? Let me check again.
Actually, looking carefully:
A. weight
B. force
C. rough
D. force
Hmm — likely a typo in the worksheet, but only one answer is expected. The standard definition “a push or a pull” =
force, so choose
B (since B is listed first as force). But wait — maybe it's intentional? No, in standard science, force = push or pull. So answer is
B (or D, but we pick the first correct option unless instructed otherwise). Since both B and D say “force”, and only one letter is allowed, it's probably meant to be B. Let’s hold that and double-check later.
5. *“Where an object moves from one moment to the next.”*
→ That describes
position (its location at a given time).
Options: A. speed, B. direction, C. friction, D. position →
✔ D
6. *“A surface with no bumps.”*
→ That’s
smooth.
Options: A. position, B. smooth, C. distance, D. smooth → Again, B and D both say “smooth”, but B is first. So
✔ B
7. *“The measure of the force of gravity on an object.”*
→ That’s
weight.
Options: A. weight, B. pull, C. gravity, D. motion →
✔ A
Now let’s finalize each:
1. D (speed)
2. C (distance)
3. C (push)
4. B (force) — even though D also says force, B is the first correct choice; worksheets usually don’t repeat correct answers like that, so likely a printing error — B is intended.
5. D (position)
6. B (smooth) — same reasoning; B is first.
7. A (weight)
Double-checking standard definitions:
- Speed = how fast/slow → ✔️ D
- Distance = how far → ✔️ C
- Push = force away → ✔️ C
- Force = push or pull → ✔️ B
- Position = where something is at a moment → ✔️ D
- Smooth = no bumps → ✔️ B
- Weight = force of gravity on object → ✔️ A
All match.
Final Answer:
1. D
2. C
3. C
4. B
5. D
6. B
7. A
