Ashley made a paper boat and attached paperclips to the edges. In order to control her boat she used a horseshoe magnet. How is Ashley able to control her boat without touching it?

• The boat is moving with the currents of the water.

• The boat is attracted to the magnet by the force of gravity.

• The boat is attracted to the magnet by the force of magnetism.

• Ashley would not be able to do this without touching the boat.

What must occur to a shopping cart at rest in order to make it roll forward?

• A force must be provided to overcome gravity.

• Balanced forces must be acting upon the cart.

• An unbalanced force applied to the cart pushing or pulling it forward.

• The unbalanced force acting upon it must be smaller than that of friction.

Two opposite forces are acting on a box, but the box does not move. What can we say that is true about the affect of the forces on the box?

• It cannot be determined without knowing which man is stronger.

• It cannot be determined without knowing the surface the box is on.

• The forces are balanced. But, the forces acting on the box have increased and the box's motion is affected.

• The forces are balanced. Thus, there is no change in forces acting on the box and the box's motion is not affected.

Changes of motion are caused by...

• all forces.

• strong forces.

• balanced forces.

• unbalanced forces.

A train rolls to a stop along a horizontal track with the conductor applying the brakes. What answer choice BEST explains why this occurred?

• The train ran out of momentum.

• The opposing force of friction stopped the train.

• The natural state of the train is not to be in motion.

• The force of gravity slowed the train until it stopped.
