TCAP Review Force and Motion

If you want a baseball to move quickly and go a long way, you should...

• throw it with a little bit of force

• leave it on the ground

• throw it with a lot of force

• stick out your tongue at it (this works with 8th graders, by the way)

A student walking quickly while carrying an orange on his lunch tray stops suddenly. The orange will most likely roll off the tray due to

• inertia of the orange. 

• centripetal force of the orange

• the friction acting on the orange.

• the balanced forces acting on the orange.

Two trucks with different masses travel at the same speed down a hill toward a red light. What will happen when both trucks apply their brakes at the same time?

• The truck with the smaller mass will require less force to stop than the car with the larger mass.

Thomas is at rest standing on his skateboard and he throws a football. Since Thomas and the skateboard have a greater mass then the football, Thomas and the skateboard will-----

• Have the same forward force as the football

• Travel the same distance

• Move backward at a faster speed than the speed that the football moves forward

• Move backward at a slower speed than the speed that the football moves forward

If a force is exerted on an object, which statement is true?

• A large force always produces a large change in momentum.

• A large force produces a large change in momentum only if the force is applied for a very short time.

• A small force applied over a long time can produce a large change in momentum.

• A small force always produces a large change in momentum.
