What are the three types of forces?

• Push, Pull, Turn

• Pull, Slide, Lift

• Push, Throw, Drop

• Lift, Turn, Slide

According to Newton’s Second Law of Motion, what relationship does mass have with force?

• Mass decreases when force increases

• More mass requires less force

• More mass requires more force

• Mass and force are unrelated

In the definition of work, what must happen for work to be considered done?

• A force must be applied

• There must be movement in the direction of the force

• The object must be heavy

• The force must be strong

What is the purpose of the Force Sorting Game on Day 1?

• To watch a video about forces

• To classify objects based on the type of force they use

• To measure the speed of objects

• To create a chart of forces

Which of the following statements is true regarding mass and force?

• Heavier objects require less force to move

• Lighter objects require more force to move

• Heavier objects require more force to move

• Mass does not affect the force needed

You are pushing a toy car across a smooth table. The car moves forward as you push it. What type of force are you applying?

• Pull

• Turn

• Push

• Lift

You are trying to pull a wagon filled with heavy books, but it barely moves. What can you infer about the force you need compared to the mass of the wagon?

• You need less force because the wagon is heavy

• You need more force because the wagon is heavy

• The mass of the wagon does not affect the force

• The wagon will move eventually with any force

You push against a wall with all your strength, but the wall doesn’t move. According to the definition of work, what can you conclude?

• Work is being done because you are applying force

• No work is being done because there is no movement

• Some work is done because you are pushing

• Work is done if you are tired afterward

A student rolls a heavy ball down a ramp and observes it picks up speed. What does this demonstrate about the relationship between mass and force?

• Lighter objects roll faster than heavier ones

• Mass doesn’t affect how fast an object moves

• Heavier objects need more force to start moving but can roll faster once in motion

• All objects roll at the same speed regardless of mass

In a class discussion, a student mentions lifting a backpack off the ground. What is true about this action in terms of work?

• Work is done because the backpack is moved

• No work is done because the backpack is heavy

• Work is done only if the backpack is thrown

• Work is done if the backpack stays still
