Step-by-step solution for: Types of Forces — Fill in the Blanks (Year 3) | CGP Plus
Here's the completed passage with explanations for each blank:
---
Forces
Forces act on objects, they are pushes (6) or pulls in a certain direction (9).
> *Explanation: A force is defined as a push or a pull. The word “pushes” has 6 letters, matching the (6). “Direction” has 9 letters, matching the (9).*
Friction (8) is a force which acts when two surfaces rub together. Air resistance (10) is a type of friction which acts when an object moves through air and water (5) resistance is a type of friction which acts when an object moves through water.
> *Explanation: “Friction” (8 letters) fits the description of force between rubbing surfaces. “Resistance” (10 letters) matches air resistance. “Water” (5 letters) completes “water resistance.”*
These are examples of forces which act when there is contact (7) between two substances, because they need to be touching each other.
> *Explanation: Friction and air/water resistance require physical contact — “contact” has 7 letters.*
Not all forces need contact. Magnetic (8) forces act between two magnets even when they are not touching each other. Certain metals (6) can be attracted (9) to a magnet even when they are quite far away.
> *Explanation: “Magnetic” (8 letters) describes non-contact forces between magnets. “Metals” (6 letters) are materials that can be attracted to magnets. “Attracted” (9 letters) describes what happens to those metals.*
Gravity is another force (5) which acts between objects (7), such as the Earth and a person. Even when a person jumps off the ground and there is no contact between the objects, the force of gravity (7) still acts and brings the person back to the Earth.
> *Explanation: Gravity is a type of “force” (5 letters). It acts between “objects” (7 letters), like Earth and a person. The final blank refers to “gravity” again (7 letters), which pulls the person down.*

✔ Final Answer with Blanks Filled:
Forces act on objects, they are pushes or pulls in a certain direction.
Friction is a force which acts when two surfaces rub together. Air resistance is a type of friction which acts when an object moves through air and water resistance is a type of friction which acts when an object moves through water. These are examples of forces which act when there is contact between two substances, because they need to be touching each other.
Not all forces need contact. Magnetic forces act between two magnets even when they are not touching each other. Certain metals can be attracted to a magnet even when they are quite far away. Gravity is another force which acts between objects, such as the Earth and a person. Even when a person jumps off the ground and there is no contact between the objects, the force of gravity still acts and brings the person back to the Earth.
