Jupiter has about 317 times more mass than Earth. What can you infer from this fact?

That Jupiter’s gravitational force is much stronger than Earth’s gravitational force.

That Jupiter’s gravitational force is much weaker than on Earth’s gravitational force.

That Jupiter’s and Earth’s gravitational forces are equal.

Mass has no effect on the gravitational force between two objects

How is gravity affected by mass?

the larger the mass of the object, the greater the gravity

gravity is not affected by mass of objects, whether large or small

A push or pull exerted on an object

Which requires more force to move it?

A heavy object, like a bowling ball.

A light object, like a tennis ball

Magnets can be a useful tool. Look closely at the picture below which shows a magnet and various metal objects. What will happen as the magnet moves closer to the metal objects?

The magnet will attract the objects.

The magnet will become heavier.

The magnet will push the objects away

Nothing will happen to the objects

After walking across a carpeted floor in socks, Jim brings his finger near a metal doorknob and receives a shock. What does this demonstrate?

Electrical forces can act at a distance.

Frictional forces require direct contact.

Electrical forces require direct contact

Frictional forces can act a distance.

Destiny took an inflated balloon and moved it back and forth across a wool cloth. In doing so she was able to charge the balloon with static electricity. Once she was done, she turned on the sink to have a slow stream of water. She then moved the balloon towards the water, causing the stream of water to move away from the balloon. Which of the following best describes the types of forces present in this scenario?

Moving a balloon across a wool cloth is an example of a contact force and the static electricity on the balloon is an example of a non-contact force.

All the forces that are present when moving the balloon provide examples of contact forces.

All the forces that are present when moving the balloon provide examples of non-contact forces.

Moving a balloon across a wool cloth is an example of a non-contact force and the static electricity on the balloon is an example of a contact force.

The picture above shows a waterfall. What is the primary force responsible for the motion of the water over the sloping ground, and how does this force affect the water?

The force of gravity, because it applies a downward pulling force on the water along the sloping land.

The force of air resistance, because it pushes the water downward

The fore of friction, because it applies a downward pulling force on the water.

The force of magnetism at the Earth's core, because it pushes the water downward.

Which sentence below describes a contact force?

A leaf floats in the air and falls to the ground.

A magnetic force pulls a paper clip toward a magnet

A 10 kg, 15 kg, and 20 kg rock are rolling down a hill. Which rock do you predict will require the most force to stop?

All 3 rocks will require the same force

The students in Mrs. Hoffman’s class played tug-of-war. The girls pulled in one direction with a force of 150 N. The boys pulled in the opposite direction with a force of 100 N. Who won the game and why did they win?

The girls won because they applied a stronger force to the rope

The boys won because they applied a stronger force to the rope

The boys and the girls tied because they applied equal forces to the rope

Too much force was applied, the rope broke
