A bowling ball moves across a flat surface at 7 feet per second. If a student is asked to calculate the total distance traveled by the ball, what other information does the student need to know?

amount of friction between the ball and the surface

amount of force applied to the ball

A girl walked for 30 minutes. She noticed that she traveled farther in the first 15 minutes of her walk than in the second 15 minutes. What can she conclude about her walk?

Her average speed was faster during the first half of her walk.

She walked in two different directions.

She was walking at a constant speed.

Which best describes the speed of a ball as it is thrown straight up into the air and comes back down?

The ball goes slower and slower as it goes up, stops, and then goes faster and faster as it comes down.

The ball goes up at a constant speed, stops, then comes down at a constant speed.

The ball goes up at a constant speed, stops, and increases speed as it comes down.

The ball goes slower and slower as it goes up, stops, and then comes down at a constant speed.

What can cause a moving object to increase its speed in a forward direction?

a force that continually acts on the object in the direction the object is moving

a force pushing on the object from the opposite direction

an increase in the mass of the object

a decrease in the mass of the object

A ball is kicked across a sidewalk and onto a road covered in small rocks. Which best describes the effect the rocky road will have on the ball?

The rocky road will decrease the speed of the ball because of friction.

The rocky road will decrease the speed of the ball because of its mass.

The rocky road will increase the speed of the ball because of its mass.

The rocky road will increase the speed of the ball because of friction.

An object travels 5 meters in one second. After two seconds it has traveled 10 meters, and after three seconds it has traveled 15 meters. Which best describes the motion of the object?

It is moving at a constant speed.

To determine the motion of an object, what must be known?

the distance the object moves and the time it takes to move that distance

mass of object and length of object

direction the object travels and the force of gravity on the object

the time the object moves and the mass of the object

A skydiver jumps from an airplane with a parachute. Which best explains how forces of affect the skydiver's fall?

Gravity pulls her down and friction slows her fall.

Friction pulls her down and gravity slows her fall.

Friction pulls her down and gravity makes her lighter, so she falls slower.

Gravity pulls her down and friction makes her heavier, so she falls faster.

If a car is moving backward along a road, can its speed be measured?

Yes, it can, because the car does not have friction acting on it.

Yes, it can, because the car travels a distance in a certain amount of time.

No, it cannot, because speed can only be measured if the car is moving forward.

No, it cannot, because the distance traveled backward by a car cannot be measured.
