1. SECTION FORCES CHANGE MOTION. 11.1 Reading Study Guide
BIG IDEA Forces change the motion of objects in predictable ways.
KEY CONCEPT Forces change motion.
Review
An object’s velocity is its change in position over time.

2. Take Notes A force is a push or a pull.
1. Fill in the word magnet diagram for force.
Balanced forces do not cause a change in the motion of an object.
A push or a pull
Unbalanced forces change the motion of an object.
Types: contact, gravity, friction
FORCE

3. Types of Forces Notes Sketch Examples
Fill in the combination notes diagram for three types of forces.
Notes
Sketch Examples g r a V i t y
contact force: a force between two objects in contact with each other
gravity: An attractive force; depends on mass and distance.
friction
Contact force
friction
friction: the force that opposes or resists the motion of an object.

4. In your notes, circle which type of force is applied by the adult lifting the child in the picture.
