Force & Motion Which of these is an example of force?

pulling a casserole out of the oven

watching a slice of brad in the toaster

listening to your school chorus

taste testing soup cooking on the stove top

Force & Motion Your older brother tells you his paper airplane has inertia. What does this mean?

it will stay in flight unless something stops it, or it will stay unless something moves it.

it has too much resistance to fly more than a few feet from his hand.

it is too heavy to stay in the air for more than a few seconds

it will require a lot of force to get it to fly

Force & Motion Why don’t skateboarders keep flying through the air when they launch off a ramp?

the force of gravity works against the skateboarders' inertia

skateboard wheels do't spin fast enough to keep them moving very far

the skateboarders have no inertia when they launch off a ramp

Skateboards do not use Newtons to move around ramps.

What is an example of friction?

wind blowing against you as you walk

Simple Machines What do simple machines do?

decrease the amount of force necessary to do work

decrease the distance objects must travel

increase the number of people needed to do work

increase the energy necessary to move objects

Simple Machines When would a wedge be the most helpful?

when lifting a piano to an upper story

when moving a car across a distance

when pulling a tree’s roots from the ground

Simple Machines When would a wheel-and-axle be the most useful?

when moving a heavy box to the next block

when planting seeds in a greenhouse

when trimming off tree branches

when taking your desk downstairs

While you’re ice-skating with your friends, you push off from one end of the rink and slide forward. Based on Newton’s first law of motion, what is true?

You will continue to slide across the ice until a force makes you stop or change direction.

You will lose your balance and fall over before you reach the middle of the ice rink.

The force of gravity will make you keep your velocity until your friends make you stop.

The size of your ice skates will determine how quickly or slowly you travel across the ice.

How is velocity different from speed?

Velocity is speed and direction together.

Velocity is when an object goes in reverse.

Velocity is the direction an object moves in, and it has nothing to do with speed.

Velocity is not at all different from speed.

Your friend kicks a soccer ball, and it stops a few feet from you. What needs to happen to it in order for it to return to your friend?

Force has to be applied to the ball.

Friction has to be applied to the ball.

Speed has to be applied to the ball.

Inertia has to be applied to the ball.

What is the relationship between heavy objects and inertia?

Heavy objects have more inertia.

Only heavy objects have inertia.

Heavy objects have less inertia.

You are riding in the car with your grandfather, and he turns left. Why do you shift to the right?

It takes you a moment to catch up with the new velocity of the car.

You have more inertia than the car, so it takes longer for you to turn left.

You had been sitting at rest until the force of the turn set you in motion.

The car continued in the same velocity, but you had a different inertia.

What does the second part of Newton’s first law say about objects at rest?

They will stay at rest unless an outside force makes them move.

They cannot move unless they have a lot of friction.

If they are heavy, they will stay at rest, but if they are light, they will move.

They have more inertia than objects in motion.

what keeps an object steady, whether at rest or moving at the same velocity

the amount of force necessary to make an object at rest start moving

an object’s velocity combined with its friction

the amount of friction necessary to slow down an object in motion

What can be measured by acceleration?

an object’s change in direction

If a hockey stick acts on a resting puck, what will happen?

The hockey stick will change the speed of the puck and make it accelerate.

The puck will remain inert and the hockey stick will accelerate.

The puck will balance on the end of your hockey stick until you drop it.

The hockey stick will not move the puck, but the puck will move the hockey stick.

Every time your cat’s paw hits her toy string, it swings away from her. How does this demonstrate Newton’s third law of motion?

For every action your cat makes, there is an equal and opposite reaction from the string.

Objects with mass, such as your cat’s paw and toy string, will require inertia.

Objects in action, such as the string toy, will experience force.

For every motion from your cat’s paw, there is unbalanced inertia from the string.

What happens when two objects, such as a baseball and a bat, collide?

They hit each other with the same force in opposite directions.

One remains still while the other one moves in the same direction.

They hit each other with unequal force in opposite directions.

They hit each other with the same force in the same direction

What does an object do when it accelerates?

It changes speed and direction.

It moves in the opposite direction.

When two objects with unequal mass collide, what will they do?

accelerate in the same direction

A softball and a volleyball collide with equal speed, and then they accelerate at the same rate. What must be true about the masses of the objects?

The softball and the volleyball have equal mass.

The softball has more mass than the volleyball.

The volleyball has more mass than the softball.

It is impossible to compare the mass of the softball and the volleyball.

During P.E., your soccer ball collides with the goalie. What happens to the soccer ball?

It accelerates more and in a different direction than the goalie.

It accelerates at the same rate and in the same direction as the goalie.

It continues moving at the same velocity as before.
