How will this object move?

The object will move to the right, as the forces are unbalanced.

The object will move to the left, as the forces are balanced.

The object will move to the left, as the forces are unbalanced.

The object will move to the right, as the forces are balanced.

A girl is pushing a cart by herself with a force of 7 N. What will happen if a boy begins to help her and their combined force is 17 N?

The cart will move at a constant speed in a straight line.

The cart will fly to never never land!

Which of the following statements are true?

Rough surfaces produce more friction than smooth surfaces.

Smooth surfaces produce more friction than rough surfaces.

Which of the following statements are true?

The more friction there is between two objects, the more force is needed to move either object.

The less friction there is between two objects, the more force is needed to move either object.

The friction between two surfaces does not depend on one of the following. This one is:

amount of surface area of the two objects which is in contact with each other.

weight of the object which tends to move on the surface of other object

degree of smoothness of surfaces of two objects in contact with each other.

degree of roughness of surfaces of two objects in contact with each other

Which objects have a STRONG force of gravity?

Objects with GREATER mass, like elephants

Objects with LESS mass, like mice

A person would weigh less on on the Moon than on the Earth because . . .

Moon has less mass and therefore less gravity

Moon has more mass, and therefore more gravity

Moon has less mass, and therefore more gravity

Moon has more mass, and therefore less gravity

If a bowling ball and a feather were dropped at the same time, in a room with no air resistance (vacuum), which object will hit the ground first?

Both would hit at the same time

Neither one would hit the ground because air is what pushing things down.
