Michael is using the balls pictured for an experiment. He kicks the two balls with the same amount of force and thinks the heavier ball will go farther. Is he correct?

No, he is incorrect because the lighter ball has less mass, so it will travel farther.

No. he is incorrect because the lighter ball has less mass, so it is affected by more gravity.

Yes, he is correct because the heavier ball has more mass, so it is affected by less friction.

Yes, he is correct because the heavier ball has more mass, so it will move farther.

Matt had a toy truck weighing 15 grams and a toy car weighing 6 grams. Using the same amount of force on each toy, he pushed them both across his desk. The car reached the other side of the desk in 1.5 seconds, but it took the truck 3.5 seconds to reach the the other side of the desk. Why did the car travel the same distance in a shorter amount of time?

The car had less mass and traveled at a faster speed than the truck.

The car had more mass and traveled at a faster speed than the truck.

The truck had more mass and traveled at a faster speed than the car.

Don throws a ball in the air. The ball comes back to the ground because

the mass of Earth creates a pull of gravity on the ball.

the wind pushes on the ball with friction.

the core of Earth pulls on the ball with a magnetic attraction.

the weight of the atmosphere pushes down on the ball.

Which best represents the relationship between force and the mass of an object?

The greater the mass of an object, the greater the force needed to move it.

The greater the force, the smaller the object.

The smaller the force, the smaller the object.

The force on an object determines what density it has.

Which is the best example of unbalanced forces acting on an object?

a girl jumping off her skateboard

a dog holding a ball in its mouth

a marble rolling at a constant speed

A plane carrying bags has a mass of 50,000 kg. After delivering the bags, it has a mass of 30,000 kg. Which would best describe how the plane’s motion would be affected on the way back?

The plane would travel at a faster speed.

The plane would travel at a slower speed.

The plane would travel at the same speed.

Which will most likely happen to a kite in the air if the wind stops blowing?

The kite will fall to the ground due to gravity.

The kite will go higher due to gravity.

The kite will float away due to decreased wind speed.

The kite will change direction due to decreased wind speed.

Carey left a bowling ball and kickball outside on a windy day. Which best explains why the kickball moved but the bowling ball did not?

The kickball has less mass so it was easier to move.

The force of gravity acting on the bowling ball is greater.

The mass of the kickball is greater so it is easier to move.

What is happening between 9am and 11am?

The cyclists is traveling at a constant speed

The cyclist is traveling up a hill

What was Charlie doing between 8 seconds and 10.5 seconds?

What is happening to the object starting at 15 seconds?

constant speed, going back to starting point

speed is decreasing, going back to starting point

constant speed, going down a hill

speed is increasing, going back to starting point

On a distance vs time graph, what does a "flat" region indicate?

the object has stopped moving and distance remains constant

A track runner lines up at the starting line for a race. Which best describes her motion according to the graph?

standing still for one second, then running forward, then stops for 2 seconds, then turns around and runs back

standing still for the first five seconds, then runs forward, then turns around and runs back

takes off running then stops for two seconds, then runs back

runs forward, then stops, then keeps going forward

Which of the following is an example of friction that is helpful?

All are examples that are helpful

Tread on the bottom of your shoes

Which of the following is an example of friction that is harmful?

sand placed on ice in the winter

How would the absence of friction affect a marble traveling on a long, straight path?

The marble would remain at constant speed.

The marble’s speed would decrease.

The marble’s speed would increase.

The marble would stop immediately.
