Force and Motion STAAR Review

A bowling ball is rolled with a certain speed and strikes a bowling pin with a force indicated by the arrow in this illustration. When the bowling ball strikes the bowling pin, the force applied by the pin to the ball -

• depends on the mass of the bowling pin.

• is equal to the force applied by the ball.

• must be zero, since the pin is not moving.

• is equal to the force of gravity on both.

Match the correct example with the law it matches with

• Newton's 1st law

• A crate getting pushed.

• Newton's 3rd law

• When an object is at rest it will stay at rest until a force acts upon it.

• Newton's 2nd law

• Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

Force is known as a push or a pull.

When the forces acting on an object are equal, the forces are considered ​ (a)   . This means the object has ​ (b)   and the object has ​ (c)   or constant motion.

When the forces acting on an object are not equal, the forces are considered to be ​ (d)   . This means the object ​ (e)   in a specific direction with a specific amount of net force.

• balanced

• unbalanced

• no net force

• no motion

• is moving

How does Newton’s third law explain how a rocket takes off?

• The rocket’s acceleration is positive, while the gasses acceleration is negative but the direction is the same. 

• The rocket is at rest until ignition.

• The hot gasses move in one direction, while the rocket moves in the opposite direction but with equal force.

An attempt is made to dislodge ketchup from the bottom of the ketchup bottle. The bottle is turned upside down, quickly pushed with a strong force in a downward motion, and then stopped. The ketchup immediately moves to the opposite end of the bottle. This scenario is an example of Newton's

• law of force and acceleration

• law of magnetism

• law of inertia

• law of gravity
