2 12-1 What is a force? Write true if the statement is true. If the statement is false, change the underlined term to make the statement true. 1. The weight of an object is a measure of the force of gravity. 2. The force of wind keeps a kite flying. 3. The force of a push is not in the direction of the push. 4. Forces equal in size and opposite in direction are called unbalanced forces. 5. Balanced forces do not cause a change of motion in an object. 6. When unbalanced forces act on a moving object, the motion of the object will stay the same. 7. An example of magnetic force is the attraction of a paper clip to a magnet. Skills: classifying, interpreting a diagram Decide whether each drawing below illustrates a force that is a push or a force that is a pull.

11 Hypercharge Enrichment Activity for Lesson 12-6 Skills: inferring, relating concepts When you drop an object, the force of gravity pulls it to the ground. Did you know that another force may be opposing gravity and pushing the object up? This mysterious new force is what scientists call hypercharge. The following passage describes hypercharge. Read the passage and answer the questions that follow. Some scientists think they have found a new force. This force, called hypercharge, is a very weak force. It opposes gravity and affects objects no farther apart than 200 meters. This force is also believed to vary in strength from element to element. It is strongest in iron. Consider the experiment of dropping a ball and a feather at the same time in a vacuum. Normally, you would expect both objects to hit the ground at the same time. If hypercharge exists, however, the feather would hit the ground first. The iron ball s hypercharge would oppose gravity more than the feather s hypercharge would. This means that the ball would fall more slowly. Apollo astronauts tried to test hypercharge by dropping a hammer and a feather on the Moon. Both objects fell at the same rate and landed at the same time. Does this disprove the hypothesis that hypercharge exists? Further research and experimentation is needed. If hypercharge is a very weak force, then its effect may be too small to measure without very precise equipment. 1. In the space below, draw a picture to show how scientists think hypercharge acts on a falling object. Also, show the force of gravity in your drawing. 2. If the hypercharge hypothesis is correct, why might you expect different objects to fall at different rates? 3. What information given in the passage might lead you to suspect that hypercharge is related to magnetic force? 4. Do you think hypercharge exists? Why or why not? What kind of experiments would you do if you were a scientist who wanted to find out more about the possible existence of hypercharge?
