    This document contains a 10 question revision test on forces for grade 6 students. It covers topics like: 1) Identifying the force that causes a chair on wheels to move when pulled away from a desk (the pulling force) 2) Explaining why a kicked ball moves along the ground (the kick applies a contact force to the ball) 3) Determining why a lunar module weighs less on the moon than Earth (due to the moon's smaller gravitational force) 4) Calculating the average speed of a javelina that runs 42 m in 6 seconds (7 m/s)

    Grade 6 Forces Revision Test

    Q1. The principal’s chair has wheels. It sits on her office floor next to her desk. She pulls the chair away from
    her desk.

    What makes the chair move?

    A. the force of gravity on the chair


    B. the force of her pull on the chair
    C. friction between her hand and the chair
    D. friction between the wheels and the floor

    Q2. A student places a ball on the ground and kicks it. The ball moves along the ground.
    Why does the ball move?

    A. The kick decreases the weight of the ball.


    B. The kick applies a contact force to the ball.
    C. The kick decreases the force of gravity acting on the ball.
    D. The kick removes friction between the ball and the ground.

    Q3. The lunar module weighed more on Earth than it did on the moon because Earth has a greater:
    A. gravitational force

    B. atmosphere

    C. electromagnetic field

    D. density
    Q4. Javelinas need strong leg muscles to help provide enough force for them to accelerate to high speeds.

    This fast movement can help javelinas escape from predators and reach the safety of the pack. If a javelina
    runs 42 m in 6 s, what is its average speed?
    A. 6 m/s
    B. 7 m/s
    C. 48 m/s
    D. 252 m/s

    A. increasing its speed
    B. changing direction
    C. heading northeast
    D. gaining potential energy

    Q8. Mike investigates friction.

    • he puts a block on three different surfaces


    • he sticks a piece of string and a plastic cup to each block
    • he puts one marble in each cup
    • he adds more marbles until the blocks move.

    (a) Here are Mike’s results.


    surface 1 = 5 marbles
    surface 2 = 6 marbles
    surface 3 = 2 marbles
    Complete the table of his results.

    [2 marks]
    (b) Complete the sentences.
    Choose from the following.
    1 2 3 5 6

    The surface with the most friction is surface ………… .


    The smoothest surface is surface …………. because it takes………… marbles to move the block.
