Review Q #2

Look at the image. Which of the following best identifies and describes the force shown?

• The apple is being pulled toward the ground by gravity due to the strong gravitational force of Earth.

• The apple fell from the tree and toward the ground due to friction of the wind pushing past the apple.

• The apple is being pulled toward Earth due to the strong magnetic pull of Earth.

• The apple is being pushed toward Earth due to applied forces once it breaks free from the branch.

A metal paper clip lying still on a desk

is acted on by multiple forces. When a magnet is brought close

to the paper clip, it moves toward the magnet.

Select all options that identify and describe the forces

acting on the paper clip.

• Friction between the desk and paper clip causes it to stay still before the magnet acts upon it.

• Magnetic force between the paper clip and magnet causes the paper clip to be pulled toward the magnet without the need for contact.

• Normal contact force between the desk and paper clip before the paper clip is acted on by the magnet.

• Gravitational force pulls the paper clip down toward the Earth as it rests on the desk due to its great mass.

Choose all the examples that demonstrate the force of friction.

• A. A bike rolling down a hill.

• B. Rubbing hands together to keep warm.

• D. A pot resting on a silicone pad to absorb heat from cooking.

What can be said about the forces acting on the object?

• The forces are balanced.

• The forces are unbalanced.

• The system is stable.

According to Newton's Third Law, what happens when a swimmer pushes against the pool wall to propel themselves forward?

• The wall pushes back against the swimmer with the same amount of force.

• The wall pushes back against the swimmer with twice as much force.

• The wall pushes back against the swimmer with half as much force.

• The wall does not push back against the swimmer; the force of the swimmer's push is what propels them forward.
