Term II Benchmark Assessment

Ethan is pushing a shopping cart with a certain mass across the parking lot. Which choice best describes the relationship between the force Ethan applies, the mass of the cart, and the cart's acceleration?

• The net force on the cart is unequal to the product of the cart’s mass and acceleration

• The net force on the cart is equal to the product of the cart’s mass and acceleration

• The net force on the cart is equal to the product of the cart’s weight and acceleration

• The net force on the cart is equal to the product of the cart’s mass and velocity

David is playing soccer and kicks the ball across the field. Which choice best describes Newton's First Laws of Motion in this scenario?

• The soccer ball will continue to move in a straight line at a constant speed until acted on by an unbalanced force, such as friction or another player.

• The soccer ball will continue to move in a straight line at a constant speed until acted on by a balanced force, such as friction or another player.

• The soccer ball will not continue to move in a straight line at a constant speed until acted on by an unbalanced force, such as friction or another player.

• The soccer ball will not continue to move in a straight line at a constant speed until acted on by a balanced force, such as friction or another player.

Noah and Zoe are playing with a soccer ball. When Noah kicks the ball to Zoe, which choice best describes Newton's Third Law of Motion in this scenario?

• A body at rest or in motion will tend to stay that way until acted on by an unbalanced force.

• When two bodies interact, the forces exerted by each body on the other are always equal in direction only.

• When two bodies interact, the forces exerted by each body on the other are always equal in magnitude only.

• When two bodies interact, the forces exerted by each body on the other are always equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

Emma, Luna, and Priya are studying physics and come across Newton's Laws. Help them identify the nickname for each of Newton's Laws.
