Experimental Investigation Quiz

Henry drops a ball from his balcony. What is the effect of gravity on the ball?

• It pushes the ball away from the Earth.

• It pulls the ball towards the center of the Earth.

• It has no effect on the ball.

• It causes the ball to spin around in circles.

Aria, Evelyn, and Noah are experimenting with different objects and a magnet. How does the magnet affect the objects they are testing?

• It can make the objects they are testing float in the air.

• It can make the objects they are testing heavier.

• It can change the color of the objects they are testing.

• It can attract or repel the objects they are testing if they have magnetic properties.

Abigail and David are playing with a toy car. Maya observes that the car slows down after a while. What role does friction play in this scenario?

• Friction causes the toy car to float in the air

• Friction increases the speed of the toy car

• Friction has no effect on the movement of the toy car

• Friction creates resistance to the movement of the toy car.

James, Liam, and Avery are playing with a soccer ball. How does the movement of the soccer ball impact its interaction with other forces such as gravity and air resistance?

• Movement of the soccer ball causes it to attract more forces.

• Movement of the soccer ball can change the way it interacts with other forces like gravity and air resistance.

• Movement of the soccer ball always increases its resistance to other forces.

• Movement of the soccer ball has no impact on its interaction with other forces.

Benjamin found a strange object in his backyard. He wonders what would happen if he exposes this object to a magnetic field. Can you help him?

• The object will turn into gold

• The object will disappear

• The object will start to glow in the dark

• The object may become magnetized and experience a force

Nora, Aria, and Scarlett are conducting an experiment to understand the concept of friction. They are sliding different objects on various surfaces. According to their observations, how does the surface of the object they are sliding affect the force of friction?

• The force of friction is affected by the roughness or smoothness of the surface.

• The force of friction is affected by the temperature of the surface

• The force of friction is not affected by the surface

• The force of friction is only affected by the color of the surface

David and Michael are discussing the weight of an object that Evelyn is holding. David says that the weight of the object Evelyn is holding is directly related to the force of gravity acting on it. Is David correct?

• Yes, the weight of an object is directly related to the force of gravity acting on it.

• No, gravity increases the weight of an object by decreasing the force acting on it

• No, the weight of an object is inversely related to the force of gravity

• No, the weight of an object is unrelated to the force of gravity

Zoe is playing soccer and kicks the ball. How does the direction of her kick impact the force experienced by the ball?

• It has no impact on the force experienced by the ball.

• It decreases the force experienced by the ball.

• It changes the direction of the force applied to the ball.

• It increases the force experienced by the ball.
