Force and Motion Amplify Unit Review

If no force is being applied to a stationary object, the object will...

• remain stationary.

• accelerate in the direction of the force.

• move at a constant speed in the direction of the force.

• accelerate in the opposite direction of the force

Which statement best explains why a car that is rolling on a level surface will eventually come to a stop?

• Frictional forces oppose the motion of the car.

• The natural state of an object is to be at rest.

• Forward motion slowly runs out as energy is expended.

• Inertia acting on an object will dissipate.

Three boats were moving across the surface of a lake. The gray and pink boats are a greater mass than the orange boat. Each boat was bumped by another boat. Which boat experienced the strongest force when hit? How do you know?

• The gray and pink boats because they are more massive, and all boats changed velocity by same amount.

• The pink boat - it's as massive as the gray boat and has the highest ending speed.

• All three - they all changed speed by the same amount.

• The gray boat - it takes more force to slow down an object than it takes to make it go faster.

In which crash did the puck experience a stronger force?

• The puck didn't experience a force. Only the paddles experienced force.

• Crash 2: The force of the purple paddle was stronger in this crash because it has more mass, so the force on the puck was stronger,

• The diagram doesn't tell you anything about the force on the puck.

• The puck experienced the same force in both crashes.

In which crash did the test car experience a stronger force?

• Crash 1: Force on garbage truck was stronger, so force on car was also stronger.

• There is NO force on the car. In each crash, only the truck experienced force.

• It was the same from both crashes. The trucks changed speed by the same amount in both crashes, so the force on the test car was the same both times.

• The diagram doesn't tell you anything about the force on the test car. It only tells you about the force on the trucks.

In which crash did the skateboard experience the stronger force? Why?

• The skateboard did not experience force, only the shopping cart did.

• Crash 2; the force on the cart was stronger in this crash.

• The diagram doesn't tell you anything about the force on the skateboard.

• The skateboard experienced THE SAME force in both crashes.
