recognizing push, pull, friction, and gravity
identify whether each example demonstrates a push, a pull, friction, or gravity.
- opening your car door (with car door image)
- rubbing your hands together to generate warmth (with hands image)
- picking a flower (with hand picking flower image)
- falling back to the ground after jumping in the air (with person jumping image)
- moving a shopping cart (with shopping cart image)
- an apple falling off a tree (with tree and apple image)
- gripping a pencil tightly to prevent it from slipping while writing (with hand holding pencil image)
- brakes on a car slowing down the vehicle (with car image)
1. Opening your car door
To open a car door, you typically pull it towards you (or push it, but in most cases, opening involves a pull - like motion to move the door and access the car). So this is a pull.
When you rub your hands together, the force that opposes the motion of your hands sliding against each other is friction. Friction between the hands also generates heat. So this is friction.
When picking a flower, you are pulling the flower (or the stem) towards you to detach it from the plant. So this is a pull.
