A. The car has more mass when it is on the carpeted floor.

C. The car is affected most by gravity on the carpeted floor.

D. The carpet pushes more against the car than the other surfaces.

14. Carey left a bowling ball and kickball outside on a windy day. Which best explains why the kickball moved but the bowling ball did not?

A. The kickball has less mass so it was easier to move.

B. The force of gravity acting on the bowling ball is greater.

C. The mass of the kickball is greater so it is easier to move.

15. Which is the best example of unbalanced forces acting on an object?

C. a girl jumping off her skateboard

B. a dog holding a ball in its mouth

D. a marble rolling at a constant speed

16. Which best represents the relationship between force and the mass of an object?

D. The greater the mass of an object, the greater the force needed to move it.

A. The greater the force, the smaller the object.

B. The smaller the force, the smaller the object.

C. The force on an object determines what density it has.

17. In order for someone to push a heavy box 10 meters across a floor, which must happen?

A. The force of the person pushing must be greater than the force of friction.

B. The force of the person pushing must be less than the force of friction.

C. The force of the person pushing must be less than the force of gravity.

D. The force of the person pushing must be greater than the force of gravity.

18. Which factor is most helpful in lowering an object with the use of a pulley?

D. gravity, because it pulls down on the object

A. friction, because it makes the object move at a constant rate

B. friction, because it helps speed up the object’s movement

C. gravity, because it allows the object to resist any change

19. The picture shows a person holding a book. If the person releases the book, it will
