Force and Motion, Direction and Motion NC EOG prep 5th

What measurements are needed to calculate the speed of an object?

• grams and force
• force and acceleration
• mass, time. and force
• time and distance

Choose the BEST example of balanced forces.

• a car speeding up
• a leaf blowing in the wind
• a car moving at a constant speed
• a tennis ball bouncing back and forth between players.

Choose the BEST answer that describes how the mass of an object affects its motion.

• The greater the mass of an object, the slower the motion of the object.
• The greater the mass of an object, the faster the motion of the object.
• The greater the mass of an object, the greater the force to move the object.
• The greater the mass of an object, the greater the distance the object will travel.

Melissa and Gabe were testing the flight of leaves as they tossed them in the air.  The leaves would go up and then came to a rest on the ground.  What force made the leaves land on the ground?

• gravity
• friction
• air pressure
• mass

Choose the correct tools for Melissa and Gabe to measure the speed of their leaves.

• measuring tape, balance, stopwatch
• spring scale, measuring tape
• measuring tape, stopwatch
• stopwatch, balance, spring scale

The 5th graders were playing a game of tug-of-war.  The class was divided equally with half the class on one side of the rope and the other half on the opposite side.  For 5 minutes the students pulled and pulled but neither side could pull the flag to one side or the other.  Choose the description of the forces during the 5th grade tug-of-war.

• The forces were unbalanced in the game.
• The forces were friction, gravity, and chemical energy.
• The students all had the same amount of strength.
• The forces were balanced in the game.

What happens when 2 equal forces act on an object in opposing directions?

• no movement; won't move
• Object will move in the direction of the force
• Object will move in the opposite direction of the force
• the object flies

How is motion affected when forces are unbalanced acting on an object?

• Change the speed, change direction, & cause and object at rest to move or change positions
• change speed
• change directions
• object at rest will move or change positions.
