Unit 5: Forces and magnets


5.1 Forces and forcemeter

1. Tien investigates the downward pulling force on different objects.

a. Write down the name of the equipment used to measure force.

____________________ [1]

b. He records his results in the table.

i. The result for the banana is missing.


Write down the result for the banana
in the table. [1]

ii. What unit of measurement is


represented by (N)? [1]

iii. Complete the number sentence


below. [1]

Bag = __________ + __________


c. Draw a bar chart to show his results. One bar has been drawn for you. [2]

shoe banana book bag


objects

d. Tien wants to use apples instead of forcemeter to measure the force of the objects
Below is his result.

Tien
shoe 5 apples
banana 7 apples
book 1 apple
bag 12 apples

i. Why are his results different? [1]

__________________________________________________________

ii. Why is it better to use forcemeter than apples to measure force? [1]

Forcemeter uses standard units in newton.

Forcemeter uses standard units in apples.

5.2 Gravity

1. Andrew drew a picture of Hubble Space


Telescope moving around the Earth.

Draw an arrow to show the


force of gravity pulling on the
space telescope. [1]
2. Nikita has four objects shown below.
She dropped them 5 meters above the ground and timed their fall.

a. She wants to measure the time it takes to reach the ground.


Tick the correct equipment she needs to measure time. [1]

Before she started the investigation, she predicted that;


“The paper plane will the fall the last”
Below is the result of her investigation.

objects

paper plane feather metal ball soccer ball


time it takes to
18 seconds 16 seconds 5 seconds 5 seconds
reach the ground

b. Was her prediction correct? Why? [1]

________, because the ____________ took the longest time to fall.

c. What caused the paper plane and feather to fall slower than the balls? [1]

___________________________________________________________
5.3 Friction
1. Ruth and Anna test the grip of different shoes of the same size.
They put each shoe on a table and attach a forcemeter to measure the force
needed to move the shoe.

They record the forces needed to make each shoe move.

a. Which shoe has the best grip? [1]

______________________

b. Which shoe has the least grip? [1]

______________________
c. To make the test fair, which of the following must be kept the same? [1]
The type of shoe The type of surface

d. What force slows down moving objects? [1]


gravity friction

e. Ruth and Anna chose shoe B for hiking. In what way shoe B is good for hiking? [1]

Shoe B has the best grip and will help them not to slide.

Shoe B has the least grip and will help them not to slide.

2. Team A and Team B competes for tug-of-war game.

Circle the correct word that best complete the sentence. [3]

a. The force shown above is [ pulling / pushing ].

b. Each team exerts an [ equal / unequal ] amount of forces.

c. There is [ friction / gravity] between the rope and their hands.


5.4-5.5. Magnets

1. Magnets have two poles, N and S.

a. What is N?

Circle the correct answer. [1]

north edge north end north part north pole

b. These two magnets attract each other. Label the missing poles of the magnets below.
Write N or S in the box. [1]

c. The table below shows materials classified as magnetic and non-magnetic.

Magnetic objects Non-magnetic objects


steel clip rubber eraser
iron nail gold necklace
aluminium wooden stick

i. Write the material that does not belong to the group. [1]

_________________________________

ii. What equipment do we use to test if a material is magnetic? [1]

_________________________________
