Types of Forces Exit
Read each question carefully. Choose, match, explain or draw to show what you know about forces and motion. A force is a push or a pull.
Part A: Identify the force
Think about what is pushing or pulling, and how the motion changes.
1.A ball slips from Maia’s hands and falls towards the ground. Which force pulls it down?
- Friction
- Gravity
- Magnetism
- A push from the air
2.A toy car rolls across a smooth floor, then across a rough mat. On which surface will friction usually slow the car more? Explain why.
3.Which two items are most likely to be attracted to a magnet? Choose two.
- An iron nail
- A wooden peg
- A plastic button
- A steel paper clip
4.Match each example to the force that best explains it.
- A magnet pulls a steel pin closer.
- A book falls from a desk towards the floor.
- A sliding shoe rubs against the ground.
- Friction
- Magnetic force
- Gravitational force
5.Nikau opens a heavy gate by leaning against it with his hands. Is he using a push or a pull?
Part B: Explain motion
Forces can start, stop, speed up, slow down or change the direction of movement.
6.When a cyclist squeezes the brakes, the brake pads rub against the wheel. What force helps slow the bike?
7.A force can change the direction an object is moving, even if it does not make the object stop.

8.Sione wants to find out whether a toy car travels farther on carpet or on a smooth floor. Name one thing he should keep the same in both tests to make it fair.
9.A parachute opens as a person comes down through the air. What effect does the air pushing against the parachute have on the person’s motion?
10.Draw one everyday example of a force changing an object’s motion. Add an arrow to show the direction of the force and write the force’s name.
Include the object, a force arrow and a label.
