Unit 5 Test Revision

Grade 4
PART 1. Identify the following terms to their definitions.

Terms Definition

_________1. B Normal force A.A push or a pull that tries to change the position or shape of an
object.

_________2. E Exert B. A support force. It is made on an object that is in contact with

another object.

_________3. F Applied force C. A pulling force

_________4. C gravity D. to pull something closer.

_________5.A Force E. to make a downward or upward force. In English we use the

verb ‘effort’.

_________6. D attract F. any force that is exerted to another object or person.

Part 2. Forces. Answer what is being asked.

8. Name force A
gravity

9. Is force A a pulling force or a pushing force?

Pulling force

10. Name force B

Normal force

11. Is force B a pulling force or a pushing force?

7. What type of diagram is this?
Pushing force
Force diagram

Part 3. Essay

12. What is a natural satellite?

A natural satellite is a body in space that orbits a larger body.

13. Define Artificial satellite

An artificial satellite is also a body in space that orbits a larger
 body, but it is made by people.

14. Explain why the moon is a

natural satellite. The Moon is smaller than the Earth. The Moon is a natural satellite
of the Earth because it orbits the Earth in space.

Part 4. TRUE or FALSE

15. T The larger the object, the greater the force of gravity.

16.F The further the objects are, the stronger the forces of gravity between them.

17. F The Domestic Space Station is an artificial satellite that has scientists living on it for years at a
time.

18. T The pull of gravity that the Earth exerts on the Moon is greater than the pull of gravity that the
Earth’s exerts on the Moon.

Part 5. Identify the following definition. Use the words in the box.

upthrust streamlined water resistance

drag air resistance friction

19. Air resistance A force that slows things down that are moving through air.

20. drag The term used for air resistance or water resistance

21. friction A force between two surfaces that are trying to slide past each other

22. streamlined A smooth or sleek shape to reduce air or water resistance. Ex. the shape of a fish.

23. upthrust A force that pushes things up in the water.

24. Water resistance A force that slows things down that are moving through water.

Part 6. TRUE or FALSE

25. F Friction only acts on stop objects.

26. T Friction always works in the direction opposite to the direction the object
is moving.
 27. F Friction makes the moving object move fast.

28. T the larger the surface area of the moving object, the more air resistance
there is.

Part 7. Numbers 29-31. Draw and label three arrows to show the forces you identified.

Part 8. Number 32-35. On the diagram, label the four forces that act on an airplane when it is flying.

Part 9. Fill in the blanks.

brass magnet chromium repel unlike

stronger attract magnetic bigger alloy

36. A magnet is a material that has an area around it where magnetic force is active. We can’t see this area. In
this area a magnet can 37. attract or 38. repel other magnets. 39. Magnetic materials are materials that are
attracted to a magnet. A mixture of metals is called an 40. alloy. 41. Chromium is mixed with steel to make
an alloy called stainless steel. 42. Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc.
If the 43. unlike poles are facing one another, the magnets are attracted to each other. The 44. stronger the
magnets, the 45. bigger the area and the bigger the distance can be.
