MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

Consider the four free body diagrams. Free-body diagrams are used to show the magnitude and direction of all forces acting on an object in a given situation. Do any of the free body diagrams indicate motion? If yes, which one(s).
No. In all four free body diagrams the forces are balanced.
Yes. In B the book is slowing down because of the friction force opposing motion.
Yes. In D the two forces are unbalanced. The upward force is greater than the force of gravity so the object moves upward.
Yes. In B and D. In both cases, forces are unbalanced. In B, there is a net force to the left; in D there is a net force upward.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

While studying Newton's laws of motion, Margie and her lab partner were tasked with determining the relationship between mass and force. They placed four different masses on a table and pulled them using a spring scale. The table shows the different masses used in the experiment and the force required to pull each mass.
The students concluded that more force was required to pull heavier objects. What comment would you make regarding this conclusion?
No clear friction can be observed between mass and force from the data.
There is a direct proportion between the mass and force listed in the table.
There is an inverse proportion between the mass and force listed in the table.
It cannot be determined until they consider the force of friction on the movement.

John and Angie were each pushing a box across the floor. They both push their own box with a force of 30 Newtons; however, Angie's box does not move. What can you infer is the reason Angie's box didn't move?
No work was done on the box.
Gravity did not act on the box.
John's box might have been on an incline.
She was probably smaller than John so she didn't have enough strength to move the box.

Liz puts a 1 kg weight and a 10 kg weight on identical sleds. She then applies a 10N force to each sled. Explain why the smaller weight has a larger acceleration.
The same amount of force is applied to both sleds.
The acceleration is directly proportional to the sled.
It indicates the extent of the unbalanced forces present.
Acceleration depends indirectly on the mass of the object.
