12

Multiple Choice

6. What could be true about the movement of object A and why?

1

It stayed at rest because the net force on it was zero; the forces acting on it (applied and reaction forces) were balanced.

2

It moved to the right because the applied force was greater than the friction force.

3

It moved to the left because the friction force and reaction force together were greater than the applied force.

13

Multiple Choice

7. What could be true about the movement of object B and why?

1

It stayed at rest because the action and reaction forces cancelled each other out.

2

It moved to the right because the forces on it (action and friction) were unbalanced, and the action force to the right was greater than the friction force to the left.

An object's resistance to a change in speed and/or direction.

2

When an object changes its speed and/or direction.

1

the wall

2

the person

3

the wheels of the skateboard

25

Multiple Choice

13. Which exerted a greater force in Example #2 and why?

1

The wall because the person moved.

2

The person because they moved.

3

Neither - the force from the wall and the force from the person were equal in size. Other forces were involved in the person's movement.

Multiple Choice

Question image

17. Action force: The blades of a helicopter put a downward force on the air molecules.

1

reaction force: the helicopter moves upward.

2

reaction force: the air molecules put an upward force on the helicopter blades.

3

reaction force: the air molecules put an downward force on the helicopter blades.

Multiple Choice

Question image

19. Which would be the action and reaction forces when skipping a rock?

1

action force: The rock applied a downward force on the water.

reaction force: The water applied an upward force on the rock.

2

action force: The rock applied a downward force on the water.

reaction force: The rock moved upward.

3

action force: The water applied an upward force on the rock.

reaction force: The rock moved upward.

4

action force: The rock applied an upward force on the water.

reaction force: The water applied an upward force on the rock.

37

Multiple Choice

Question image

20. Which would be true about the amount force the water and the rock applied to each other? (the action and reaction forces)

1

The forces would be equal in size.

2

The rock would exert a greater force on the water than the water exerted on the rock.

3

The water would exert a greater force on the rock than the rock exerted on the water.

4

Without knowing the other forces invloved it is impossible to say.

38

Multiple Choice

Question image

21. Why would forces A and B not be action and reaction forces?

1

Because they are equal in size - action and reaction forces are different sizes.

2

Because they are going in oppoisite directions.

3

Because there is only one object; action/reaction forces are between two objects.

39

Multiple Choice

Question image

22. A ball hit a box. Which arrow represents the correct reaction force?

1

Arrow A

2

Arrow B

3

Arrow C

4

Arrow D

40

Multiple Choice

Question image

23. Why is Arrow A the reaction force?

1

Because it is the same length as the action force arrow, meaning it is the same size force.

2

Because it is going in the opposite direction of the action force arrow.

3

Because of its length AND direction.

Multiple Choice

Question image

24. You are canoeing down the Illinois River on a beautiful summer day. Which would be true?

1

action force: The paddle puts a backward force on the water.

reaction force: The water puts a forward force on the paddle.

2

action force: The paddle puts a backward force on the water.

reaction force: The water puts a forward force on the canoe.

3

action force: The paddle puts a backward force on the water.

reaction force: The canoe moves forward.

4

The water can only place a reaction force on the paddle if you are going against the current.

Multiple Choice

Question image

25. A bug hits the windshield of a moving car. Which would be true?

1

The windshield exerted a greater force on the bug, so the bug went splat. (Poor bug!)

2

The bug exerted a greater force on the windshield, so the bug went splat. (Poor bug!)

3

The windshield exerted the same amount of force on the bug as the bug exerted on the windshield.

52

Multiple Choice

Question image

26. The forces of the bug and the windshield were the same, so which best explains why the bug went splat (Poor bug!) but the windshild didn't break?

1

The bug had less mass, so the same force had a greater effect on it.

2

They were going in opposite directions, and the forward force always has a greater effect than the backward force.

3

The bug is a living thing, and the effect on a living thing is always greater than on a nonliving thing.

53

Multiple Choice

Question image

27. When a swimmer is doing laps, they often make their turn underwater and push off the wall. Which would be true about the action and reaction forces in this picture?

1

Action force: The swimmer exerts a rightward force on the wall.

Reaction force: The wall exerts a leftward force on the swimmer.

2

Action force: The swimmer exerts a leftward force on the wall.

Reaction force: The swimmer moves to the left.

3

Action force: The swimmer exerts a rightward force on the wall.

Reaction force: The wall exerts a leftward force on the water.

54

Multiple Choice

Question image

28. Why is the effect on the swimmer greater than the effect on the wall?

1

The swimmer exerted a greater force than the wall.

2

The wall exerted a greater force than the swimmer.

3

The swimmer had more inertia than the wall, because the swimmer had more mass than the wall. The same force will cause a greater acceleration on an object with more mass.

4

The swimmer had less inertia than the wall, because the swimmer had less mass than the wall. The same force will cause a greater acceleration on an object with less mass.
