SPEED & DISTANCE

FORCE & MOTION

A strategy to answer questions about distance

and speed is to draw an arrow bar. Write down
exactly what the problem says.

A pull is a force applied from the front of an

object.
If comparing a light and a heavy vehicle, a
vehicle that is heavy will need more force to
move because it has more mass.
If comparing a light and a heavy vehicle, a
vehicle that is light will need less force to move
because it has less mass.
Force makes objects go UP!
If you want to make something move faster,
you need to change the force acting on the
object.
If a tug-of-war is a tie, both teams used equal
force.
Energy in gears is transferred from one to
another.
Friction causes objects to slow down.

For instance:
A train travels 100 meters in 10 seconds. It
travels 300 meters in the next 10 seconds. By
30 seconds, it has traveled 900 meters. Which
BEST describes the motion of the train?

How do the numbers change? Do you see a

pattern? How could you describe the pattern?
Decreasing?
Increasing?
Remaining constant?
Distance = Speed multiplied by Time
A strategy to answer questions about time is
to make a chart.
50 MPH
5 AM
START
50 X 1 = 50
6 AM
50 Miles
50 X 2 = 100
7 AM
100 Miles
