A student wants to safely be able to move a cart up a ramp and onto a truck. To see which ramp would be most beneficial, the student investigates to see how the length of the ramp changes the amount of force needed to move the cart (measured in Newtons, N). Which of the following conclusions can the student make from the investigation about how to safely move the cart?

As the length of the ramp increases, the amount of force needed decreases.

As the height of the ramp increases, the amount of force needed increases.

As the length of the ramp increases, the amount of force needed increases.

As the height of the ramp increases, the amount of force needed decreases.

The graph below shows the distance and time a cyclist traveled on a 4.0 hour ride. Which of the following statements is true based on the data graphed?

The average speed of the cyclist in the first two hours was 15.0 km/hr.

The cyclist traveled at a constant speed throughout the ride.

The fastest speed of the cyclist was in the last hour of the ride.

Between the second and third hour of the ride, the cyclist traveled 30 km.

A rock that falls off a cliff represents both potential and kinetic energy. Which statement best represents the energy transformation involved in this scenario?

As the potential energy decreases, the kinetic energy increases.

As the potential energy decreases, the kinetic energy decreases.

As the potential energy increases, the kinetic energy increases.

As the potential energy increases, the kinetic energy stays the same.

Which inclined plane requires the most amount of force to move an object?

They all require the same amount of force.

The diagram represents two students pushing and pulling an object in the same direction. Which statement best describes the result of the forces?

The object will move in the direction of the combined forces.

The object will not move because the forces are not the same.

The lesser force applied is not enough to move the object.

The combined forces on the object cancels each other out.
