Choose the BEST example of balanced forces.

• a car speeding up

• a leaf blowing in the wind

• a car moving at a constant speed

• a tennis ball bouncing back and forth between players.

Choose the BEST answer that describes how the mass of an object affects its motion.

• The greater the mass of an object, the slower the motion of the object.

• The greater the mass of an object, the faster the motion of the object.

• The greater the mass of an object, the greater the force to move the object.

• The greater the mass of an object, the greater the distance the object will travel.

The 5th graders were playing a game of tug-of-war.  The class was divided equally with half the class on one side of the rope and the other half on the opposite side.  For 5 minutes the students pulled and pulled but neither side could pull the flag to one side or the other.  Choose the description of the forces during the 5th grade tug-of-war.

• The forces were unbalanced in the game.

• The forces were friction, gravity, and chemical energy.

• The students all had the same amount of strength.

• The forces were balanced in the game.

What happens when 2 equal forces act on an object in opposing directions?

• no movement; won't move

• Object will move in the direction of the force

• Object will move in the opposite direction of the force

• the object flies

What is a contact force?

• A force that touches the object to make it move or change directions

• force that does not touch the object to make it move or change direction.

What is a non-contact force?

• A force that touches the object to make it move or change directions

• force that does not touch the object to make it move or change direction.
