Forces Word Search

A small rover has lost power on a test track. Complete the force-word search, then use the science clues to help the team explain how the rover moves. In the grid, words run left to right or top to bottom. Multi-word terms are written without spaces. Tick each term as you find it.

Force word grid

Find these 12 words: FORCE, PUSH, PULL, FRICTION, GRAVITY, MASS, WEIGHT, SPEED, MOTION, DRAG, THRUST, ACCELERATION.

1.The rover is stationary. A technician applies a force by pressing it away from them. Is this a push or a pull?
  • Push
  • Pull
  • Gravity
  • Friction
2.The rover rolls across the track and gradually slows down. Which force between the tyres and track helps oppose its motion?
3.The rover is dropped from a low platform. Which force pulls it towards Earth?
4.A rover has a mass of 8 kg. On Earth, gravity gives it a weight of about 80 N. Which statement is correct?
  • Mass and weight are both measured in kilograms.
  • Mass is 8 kg; weight is about 80 N.
  • Mass changes whenever the rover moves.
  • Weight is the amount of matter in the rover.
5.The rover travels 12 metres in 4 seconds. Calculate its average speed using speed = distance ÷ time.
6.True or false: An object accelerates only when it speeds up; slowing down or changing direction is not acceleration.
TrueFalse
7.The rover’s motor pushes it forwards while air resistance acts backwards. If these forces are equal in size and opposite in direction, what happens to the rover’s motion?
8.Name the forward force produced by the rover’s motor that helps it move along the track.
9.The rover turns sharply around a cone while keeping the same speed. Has its velocity changed? Explain briefly.
10.Two rovers have the same motor force. Rover A has less mass than Rover B. Which rover is likely to have the greater acceleration, and why?
