Brakes on a car are designed to use friction to slow or stop a vehicle. Brake shoes and pads are lined with a heat-resistant material that presses against rotating disks or drums. Which type of frictional force causes a car to slow when the brakes are applied? 

• Fluid
• Rolling
• Sliding
• Static

When a driver applies brakes quickly which of the following best explains why a book on the seat keeps moving forward? 

• Gravity pushes the book forward
• There is no frictional force acting on the book
• The brakes apply a force to the car but not to the book
• The book accelerates in the direction of the applied force

If you push a book across a table, which of the following describes the reaction force? 

• The book pushes on the table
• The book pushes on you
• The table pushes on the book
• You push on the table

 A hockey stick applies a force to a puck that results in an acceleration of 3.0 m/s² . What would be the effect on the acceleration of the hockey puck if the force is tripled?

• The acceleration would be reduced to 1.0 m/s2 
• The acceleration would remain the same. 
• The acceleration would be increased to 6.0 m/s2 
• The acceleration would be increased to 9.0 m/s2 

Which material would be classified as homogeneous?
