All vehicles are moving at 45 km/hr. Which vehicle is accelerating?

• The minivan

• The sedan

• The pickup truck

What is the net force acting on the train?

• 3 N

• -3 N

• 7 N

• - 7 N

Answer explanation

The forces are moving in opposite directions, so they are subtracted.The net force is moving to the left, so the answer is negative.

The boy pictured is pulling the dog’s leash towards him; however, the boy and the dog are moving in the direction of the dog. Which of the following best describes the reason for this?

• The forces are balanced because the dog is stronger

• The forces are unbalanced because the boy’s force is stronger

• The forces are unbalanced because the dog’s force is stronger

• The forces are balanced because the net force is zero.
