Support and Motion Unit

Sandra pushed a wooden block and it slid across the floor. The wooden block gradually slowed down and stopped after moving 10 meters.

Why did the block stop moving?

• The floor exerted a force that is opposite to the direction of the block’s motion.

• The block ran out of force.

• The floor absorbs force from the block.

• All objects stop moving because their natural state is to be still.

What is velocity?

• the quickness of an object
• the location of an object
• acceleration
• speed in a specific direction

On a distance vs. time graph, the steeper the slope _____

• the slower the speed
• the faster the speed
• less acceleration
• greater acceleration
