If two opposing players are trying to move a soccer ball, why is it not moving?

• unbalanced forces are acting on the ball

• balanced forces are acting on the ball

• one player's force is stronger than the other player's force

• one player's force is weaker than the other player's force

If you pull a box across the floor at constant speed, why doesn't the motion of the box change?

• If you weren't pulling, there would be no force, and the box would stop moving.

• Your force on the box is balanced by frictional force.

• Your force on the box is balanced by gravitational force.

• If you weren't pulling on the box, there would be no force, and the box would speed up.

An asteroid will curve toward the sun when it enters our solar system; why does the sun not move toward the asteroid?

• The asteroid is moving too quickly to exert a large force on the sun.

• There is no force exerted on the sun.

• The forces are equal, but the sun is too massive to react to the force exerted.

• There is no force exerted on the comet or the sun unless there is a collision.

When you throw a basketball at the basket and hit the rim, the rim will move backwards, and the basketball will bounce back toward you. . . why does the ball bounce back?

• The ball exerts a smaller force on the rim because the ball is smaller.

• The ball exerts a larger force on the target because the ball is moving faster.

• The target exerts the same size force on the ball, so they have opposite and equal reactions.

• The target exerts a larger force on the ball because the ball is bouncy.
