Look at the distance time graph that shows the motion of a student on a walk.

Which statement best describes the student's motion?

• The student walks slowly at first, then increases their speed, stops, and very quickly returns to the starting point.

• The student walks up a hill at the beginning, and then has a flat surface, and then walks down a hill at the end.

• The student is going faster and faster in the last two minutes.

• The student starts out moving very fast, slows down in the middle of the walk, and then speeds up again at the end.

The graph shows the journey of a car over a period of 12 hours.

• Going up a hill

• Sitting in a parking lot

• Going down a hill

A child rides a wagon down a hill. Eventually, the wagon comes to a stop.

Which is most responsible for causing the wagon to stop?

• friction acting on the wagon

• the mass of the wagon

• the mass of the child

A pencil falls off of a desk. What moves the pencil toward the floor?

Team 1 and Team 2 each have five people who are pulling with equal force on opposite ends of a rope. Which will most likely happen if Team 1 stops pulling on the rope?

• Team 2 will pull the rope closer to their side.

• The rope will fall to the ground on both sides.

• The rope will continue to be pulled in both directions.

If a bookcase and a book were pushed with the same force, what would most likely happen?

• The book would move farther, because it has less mass.

• The book would move faster, because it has more mass.

• The bookcase would move faster, because it has less mass.

• The bookcase would move farther, because it has more mass.

Shane and Brett push a toy car on a straight track. When Shane pushes the car, it goes a longer distance than when Brett pushes it. Which best explains this?

• Brett applied more force to the car.

• Shane applied more force to the car.

• Brett did not apply any force to the car.

• Shane applied the same amount of force as Brett.
