In a thrilling science experiment, Ava and Mason are observing a cart on a track. As Mason gives the cart a push, Ava notices it starts to slow down. Can you guess which direction Mason pushed the cart?

In the opposite direction the cart was moving.

In the same direction the cart was moving.

Imagine Mia and Aiden are racing toy cars. Which of the options below best explains why Aiden's car slows down when he pushes it in the opposite direction of its motion?

Forces in the opposite direction as the direction of motion cause velocity to decrease.

Forces in the same direction as the direction of motion cause velocity to increase.

Forces in the same direction as the direction of motion cause velocity to decrease.

Forces in the opposite direction as the direction of motion cause velocity to increase.

In a thrilling simulator adventure, Harper and Kai decided to push a filing cabinet across a magical frictionless surface. After giving it a mighty shove, they let go. What do you think happens to the cabinet as it glides away with no forces acting on it?

It would move at a constant speed.

It would continue speeding up but eventually it would move at a constant speed.

It would move at a constant speed for a while but eventually slow down.

Imagine that Hannah and Sophia are on a space adventure, and they throw a baseball into the vastness of deep space, far away from any planets or stars. With no gravity or air resistance to slow it down, what do you think will happen to the baseball's velocity over time?

The baseball will continue to move at the same velocity forever.

The baseball will eventually slow down to a stop and remain in place.

The baseball will continue to speed up forever.

The baseball will continue to move forever, but at slower and slower velocities.

Anika and Ava were having a race with their toy carts. After giving their carts a sudden, brief push, they noticed the carts started to slow down. Why do you think this happened?

Friction is acting in the opposite direction of the motion.

The hand is no longer in contact with the cart.

The force from the hand runs out.

Friction is acting in the same direction of the motion.

Imagine Isla and Noah are having a friendly debate about why a rolling ball eventually stops. Which of the options below best supports your reasoning in this fun physics puzzle?

Objects do not change speed unless a force is acting.

All objects eventually slow down and stop.

Without a force acting on an object, the object cannot move at a constant speed.

Priya and Olivia are conducting a fun physics experiment with a cart! Though the force of friction isn't shown on their diagram, can you help them figure out which direction the friction force must act on the cart in this scenario?

Impossible to tell without further experiments

Luna and Grace are conducting a fun physics experiment with a cart! Though it’s not shown on the force diagram, can you help them determine the direction that the force of friction must have on the cart in this situation? (HINT: FRICTION OPPOSES THE MOTION)

Impossible to tell without further experiments

Imagine Luna is playing soccer and kicks the ball across the field. Which of the options below best explains why the ball eventually slows down?

Friction causes the soccer ball to slow down.

Gravity causes the soccer ball to slow down, because it pushes down on the soccer ball.

The force of Luna’s kick runs out, causing the ball to slow and stop.

The soccer ball will not slow down until someone else on Luna’s soccer team stops the ball.

Imagine Ava and Henry are conducting a fun science experiment. They push a cart along a track and then let go. The track has a bit of friction. What happens to the cart as it moves along the track?

No, it should still move at a constant speed.

Imagine Ava and Kai are racing their toy carts down a smooth hallway. Suddenly, Ava's cart stops being pushed. Which of the options below best explains what happens to Ava's cart?

There is a force of friction which slows down the cart.

There is no longer a force on it, so it must slow down. There is nothing to keep it moving.

The forces on the cart are balanced. The cart must be moving at constant speed all the time.

The cart has no forces opposing it, so it is moving at constant speed.

Avery and Aria are conducting an experiment with a cart on a frictionless track. The force-time graph below shows the forces acting on their cart. During which time intervals is the velocity of the cart changing?

Impossible to tell from a force-time graph.

Lily and James are conducting a fun experiment with Box A and Box B. They have drawn force diagrams to represent the forces acting on each box. Are the magnitudes of the forces acting on Box A and Box B the same?

Yes, because the lengths of the force arrows are the same.

Yes, because the boxes are the same size.

No, because the directions of the arrows are different.

No, because the lengths of the arrows are different.
