IQWST Lesson 6 Physical Science Review

A magnet is floating motionless above another magnet in a container.

What are the forces acting on

the lower magnet?

• The magnet’s weight and the magnetic force pushing it away from the lower magnet.

• The magnet’s weight and the magnetic force attracting it to the lower magnet.

• Two magnetic forces: one attracting it to the lower magnet and another pushing it away from the lower magnet.

• The upper magnet’s weight and mass.

What is the relation between

the two forces acting on the upper magnet?

• They are equal.

• The one acting upward is greater than the one acting downward.

• The one acting downward is greater than the one acting upward.

• Both act in the same direction

What is the relation between the force the lower magnetic applies to the upper magnet and the force the upper magnet applies to the lower one?

• They are equal.

• They act in opposite directions.

• They get stronger as the magnets get closer to one another,

• All of the above

Why is the box sitting on the table not moving?

• No forces are acting on the box.

• The table pushes up with the same force that gravity pulls down

• Gravity is keeping the box down on the table.

• Gravity is pulling down, but the table is in the way.

A rocket in outer space is traveling toward a far-off planet. An astronaut turns on the rocket’s engines, which exerts a force on the rocket. There is no gravity or air resistance.

While the engines are on, how will the rocket move?

• The rocket will move at a constant speed.

• The rocket will move faster and faster as long as

  the engines are on.

• The rocket will move faster and faster until it reaches its maximum speed.

• The rocket will move only while the engines are on.

When the astronaut turns off the engines, what will the rocket do?

• It will steadily slow down until the force from the engines is gone.

• It will steadily slow down because no forces are acting on it.

• It will continue moving with a constant speed because the force from the engines is still acting on it.

• It will continue moving with a constant speed

  because no forces are acting on it.

Maria pushes on a heavy rock but it does not move. Why does the rock not move?

• Nothing is moving, so there are no forces acting.

• Maria is exerting a force on the rock, but the force from the rock

  is stronger.

• There must be another force on the rock, opposing Maria’s push.

• The rock is heavier than Maria.

On a visit to a science lab, Madison observes a blob of shiny material that is floating in the air. The blob is not moving. What can she conclude about the force(s) acting on the blob?

• Gravity cannot be acting on the blob

  because it is not falling down.

• Gravity must be acting on the blob or

  it would be floating.

• There are no forces acting on the

  blob because it is not moving.

• Each force acting on the blob has another one to cancel it out.

Amelia hits a puck across the gym floor. She then observes the speed of the puck. Which of the following observations is most likely?

• The speed is constant because the

  force from Amelia’s hit is still acting on the puck.

• The speed is constant because there

  is no force acting on the side of the puck.

• The speed is decreasing because there is friction between the puck and the floor.

• The speed is zero because there is no force acting on the side of the puck.
