Topic 5 - Force and Motion Review

Four different students take turns pushing a large, heavy ball on the school parking lot. What is the best way to determine which student used the most force to push the ball?

• compare the sizes of the students

• compare the ages of the students

• compare the distances that the ball rolled

• compare the number of times the ball was rolled

Christina kicks a ball. The ball moves faster when she kicks it on the concrete sidewalk than when she kicks it on the grass. Why does the ball travel slower on the grass than the sidewalk?

• The grass has more friction.

• The grass attracts more wind.

• The grass has a higher temperature.

• The grass increases Earth's gravity.

Julio pushes a toy car across three different surfaces. He pushes the car across a wooden floor, a tile floor, and a carpeted floor. He notices it is hardest to push the toy car across the carpeted floor. Which is the most likely reason it is hardest to push the car across the carpet?

• The car has more mass when it is on the carpeted floor.

• The carpet creates more friction than the other surfaces.

• The car is affected most by gravity on the carpeted floor.

• The carpet pushes less against the car than the other surfaces.

Use the image to answer the question.

• the amount of frictional force acting on the block

• the amount of gravitational force acting on the block

• the amount of frictional force acting on the ramp

• the amount of gravitational force acting on the ramp
