Motion and Force Review

A student placed a stuffed animal on the dashboard of a car. When the car accelerated quickly, the stuffed animal flew back onto the seat. Which principle BEST describes the motion of the stuffed animal as the car accelerated.

• inertia
• speed
• momentum
• gravity

What is the difference between the velocity and the speed of an object?

• Velocity is the change in distance over time, while speed is the change in velocity overtime.
• Velocity has a direction associated with it, while speed has no specific direction.
• Velocity has no direction associated with it, while speed has a specific direction.
• Velocity is the change in speed over time, while speed is the change in distance over time.

The arrows in the diagram below represent the forces acting on a moving bicycle at two different times, time 1 and time 2. The length of the arrow represents the amount of force being applied. As a result of the change in the forces from time 1 to time 2 the bicyclist will...

• move slower in a forward direction
• move faster in a forward direction
• move in a backward direction
• stop moving

A student rolls a ball down the ramp shown in the picture below. The ramp is supported by four stacked books. The student removes two books from the stack supporting the ramp and rolls the ball down the ramp again. Which of the following statements best describes how the ball's motion is different after the books are removed?

• The ball takes more time to reach the bottom of the ramp.
• The ball has a higher speed at the top of the ramp.
• The ball accelerates more quickly down the ramp.
• The ball has a higher average speed when it rolls off the ramp.

Two equal forces act at the same time on the same stationary object, but in opposite directions. Which statement describes the object's resulting motion?

• The object will change direction.
• The object will move at a constant speed.
• The object will remain stationary.
• The object will accelerate.

Identical materials are used to construct the systems shown to lift a large toy block. Which statement is TRUE about the diagrams shown?

• Diagram 3 will give the greatest mechanical advantage because the fulcrum is placed closest to the applied force (toy block).
• Diagram 2 will give the greatest mechanical advantage because the fulcrum is place evenly between the load (toy block) and the applied force.
• Diagram 1 will give the greatest mechanical advantage because the fulcrum is placed close to the load (toy block).
• Diagram 3 will give the greatest mechanical advantage because the fulcrum is placed far from the load (toy block).
