Mia and Olivia are playing baseball. This time, Mia swings at the baseball with even more force than before! What do you think will happen to the ball after Mia's powerful swing?
- The ball will go slower and in the opposite direction it was thrown.
- The ball will go faster and in the same direction it was thrown.
- The ball will go faster and in the opposite direction it was thrown.
- The ball will go slower and in the same direction it was thrown.
Answer explanation
Mia's powerful swing applies more force to the ball, causing it to accelerate. Since she hits it with greater force, the ball will move faster and in the opposite direction from where it was thrown.

Liam and Charlotte are having an epic tug-of-war! Based on the forces shown, who will win, or will it be a tie? EXPLAIN your answer.
Equal/Balanced forces, no motion, no one wins/tie
Unequal/Unbalanced forces, motion to left, green shirt wins
Unequal/Unbalanced forces, motion to right, red shirt wins
Answer explanation
Liam and Charlotte are exerting equal forces on each other, resulting in balanced forces. Since there is no net force acting on the system, there is no motion, leading to a tie.

Kai, Mason, and Hannah are playing basketball. After a fun game, the ball is just sitting still on the ground, waiting for the next round. Are the forces on the ball balanced or unbalanced, and is there motion or no motion?
Forces are balanced, and there is no motion.
Forces are unbalanced, and there is motion.
Forces are balanced, and there is motion.
Forces are unbalanced, and there is no motion.
Answer explanation
The ball is sitting still, indicating no motion. Since it is not moving, the forces acting on it must be balanced, resulting in no net force. Therefore, the correct choice is: Forces are balanced, and there is no motion.

Noah and Sophia are having a friendly tug-of-war with a box! Noah pulls the box to the left with a force of 3 N, while Sophia pulls to the right with a force of 5 N. Which way will the box move and why?
- The box will move to the left due to the unequal forces.
- The box will move to the right due to the unequal forces.
It will not move because the forces are balanced.
It will move upwards due to an upward force.
Answer explanation
The box will move to the right because Sophia's force of 5 N is greater than Noah's force of 3 N. The net force is 2 N to the right, causing the box to move in that direction.

Nora, William, and Isla are racing toy cars in different places! Where do you think their car would zoom the most because of unbalanced forces?
The top of a steep hill
On a flat road
In a parking lot
On a bumpy road
Answer explanation
The top of a steep hill has unbalanced forces due to gravity pulling the car downwards, causing it to accelerate and zoom faster compared to the other options, where forces are more balanced.

Ethan and Anika are conducting an experiment, but they can only choose one independent variable to test. Why is it important for them to stick to just one?
To ensure that the results are due to the independent variable alone
To make the experiment more complex
To increase the number of variables affecting the outcome
To confuse the results
Answer explanation
It is important for Ethan and Anika to stick to just one independent variable to ensure that the results are due to that variable alone. This helps in accurately determining the effect of the independent variable on the outcome.
