Students investigate force. The masses they use begin at rest on the ramp. The setup the students use is shown. Which change will reduce the amount of force needed to move the masses?

Decrease the height of the ramp

Increase the height of the ramp

Pull the spring scale with two hands

Which best explains why a bicycle slows down when its brakes are applied?

The brakes cause frictional forces on the wheels of the bicycle.

The brakes heat the rubber on the bicycle tires.

The brakes increase the force of gravity on the bicycle.

The brakes add energy to the bicycle.

How can you test the strength of a magnet?

measure the length of the magnet

When testing two different types of balls on ramps-

different size ramps must be used

An identical object was placed onto the three different surfaces and set into motion with an identical force. The bars show how long it took the object to travel 10 meters. Based on the graph, which surface had the greatest friction?

Friction is the same on every surface

If the forces are the same in Scenario A and Scenario C, which ball would move the fastest?

both balls would move at the same speed

there is no way to determine which ball would move the fastest

A variable in a science experiment is -

a condition in an experiment that is changed in order to determine the effect

the substance, object or group in an experiment that is not changed

an experiment in which all variables are kept the same except one

What would happen if a big, strong person pushed a cart (strong force), compared to if a small child pushed a cart (little force).

The cart would move farther and faster by the strong person.

There would be no difference in the two.

The cart would move farther and faster by the child.

The cart pushed by the strong person would slow down quicker.

An example of an experiment testing friction is:

sliding the same object over 2 different surfaces

sliding 1 object over the same surface

sliding 2 different objects over 2 different surfaces

dropping 2 objects from different heights
