a force pushing on the object from the opposite direction

an increase in the mass of the object

a decrease in the mass of the object

In a machine, a student turns gear 1 using a handle. The student notices that gears 2 and 3 move as well in the directions shown by the arrows. Which describes why gears 2 and 3 move when the handle is turned?

because the energy from gear 1 is transferred

because gear 2 is conserving mass

because gear 3 is larger than gear 1

because the energy from gear 1 is lost as heat

Why would you need more force when riding a bike up a hill than down a hill?

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 happen to a object moving at a constant speed if additional force is applied to it in the same direction?

It will keep moving at the same speed.

Which will most likely happen when additional forces act on a moving object?

The object will either speed up or slow down.

The mass of the object will change.

The object will begin moving at a constant speed.

The friction forces on the object will remain the same.

Michael is using the balls above 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 is affected more by gravity.

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

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

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