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.
