The table provides definitions for four kinds of forces. Which option matches each force with its correct position in the table?

• A. 1: Gravity; 2: Friction; 3: Applied Forces; 4: Magnetism

• B. 1: Magnetism; 2: Gravity; 3: Applied Forces; 4: Friction

• C. 1: Gravity; 2: Friction; 3: Magnetism; 4: Applied Forces

• D. 1: Applied Forces; 2: Friction; 3: Gravity; 4: Magnetism

Look at the diagram. Free-body diagrams show all forces acting on an object in a certain scenario. In this diagram, a student is pushing a textbook across a desk from left to right. Which arrow represents the force of friction acting on the textbook?

• F_A

• F_B

• F_C

• F_D

Look at the diagram. Three bar magnets, each with opposing poles, are placed near each other in a straight line. Which of the following variables can change the strength of the magnetic force between the magnets?

Look at the image. Which of the following best identifies and describes the force shown?

• The apple is being pulled toward the ground by gravity due to the strong gravitational force of Earth.

• The apple fell from the tree and toward the ground due to friction of the wind pushing past the apple.

• The apple is being pulled toward Earth due to the strong magnetic pull of Earth.

• The apple is being pushed toward Earth due to applied forces once it breaks free from the branch.

Choose all the examples that demonstrate the force of friction.

• A. A bike rolling down a hill

• B. Rubbing hands together to keep warm

• C. Air rushing over and around a car as it drives down the road

• D. A pot resting on a silicone pad to absorb heat from cooking

A metal paper clip lying still on a desk is acted on by multiple forces. When a

magnet is brought close to the paper clip, it moves toward the magnet.

Select all options that identify and describe the forces acting on the paper clip.

• Friction between the desk and paper clip causes it to stay still before the

  magnet acts upon it.

• Magnetic force between the paper clip and magnet causes the paper clip to

  be pulled toward the magnet without the need for contact.

• Normal contact force between the desk and paper clip before the paper clip is

  acted on by the magnet.

• Gravitational force pulls the paper clip down toward the Earth as it rests on

  the desk due to its great mass.
