Force and Motion Quiz 5.p

What causes an object to fall to the ground?

• air resistance

• time

• gravity

• friction

A student measures the motion of a toy car. She measures the distance the car travels every 20 seconds for 2 minutes. At the end of the 2 minutes, she wants to show her data on a line graph. What should she put along the y-axis of her graph?

• position

• speed

• time

• distance

What information do you need in order to find the speed of a moving object?

• the mass of the object and the distance it moved

• the distance the object moved and the time it took to move that distance

• the position of the object and the force used to move it to that position

• the length of the object and the direction in which it moved

Your friend kicks a rolling ball with a certain force. Then you kick the same ball with a larger force. What will MOST LIKELY happen?

• The ball will move faster and farther when your friend kicks it.

• The ball will move faster and farther when you kick it.

• The ball will move more slowly and farther when you kick it.

• The ball will move faster and not as far when your friend kicks it.

Which tool can be used to measure the distance an object moved?

• meterstick

• spring scale

• watch

• compass

What effect does friction tend to have on an object's motion?

• It slows an object's motion.

• It has no effect on an object's motion.

• It makes an object start moving.

• It makes an object move faster.

If you increase an object's mass, you

• change its position.

• change its direction.

• decrease its force of gravity.

• increase its force of gravity.

If a car travels 140 kilometers in 2 hours, what is the speed of the car?

• 70 kilometers

• 280 kilometers per hour

• 70 kilometers per hour

• 140 kilometers per hour

The graph shows the motion of a bird. How far had the bird flown after 75 minutes?

• 10 kilometers

• 15 kilometers

• 20 kilometers

• 25 kilometers

If an object is not moving, a force can

• increase its mass.

• decrease its mass.

• make it start moving.

• change its direction.
