Jan has two identical magnets on her metal cabinet. She hangs a drawing using Magnet 1. She tries to hang a calendar using Magnet 2, but the calendar falls to the floor.
Which best explains why Magnet 1 can hold up the drawing but Magnet 2 is unable to hold up the calendar?

• The area near Magnet 1 has extra metal.

• The calendar is longer than the drawing.

• The area under Magnet 2 has more gravity.

• The calendar has a greater mass than the drawing.

Which is the best example of a pushing force that reduces the speed of an object?

• a bat hitting a baseball

• a brake rubbing against a wheel

• a pedal turning the wheels of a bicycle

• a skateboard wheel rolling against pavement

Which information is needed to determine the speed of an object?

• the weight of the object and the the pull of gravity on the object and the amount of time it travelsdistance it travels

• the pull of gravity on the object and the amount of time it travels

• the inertia of the object and the amount of force that is pushing it

• the distance the object travels and the time it takes to travel that distance

Carey left a bowling ball and kickball outside on a windy day. Which best explains why the kickball moved but the bowling ball did not?

• The kickball has less mass so it was easier to move.

• The force of gravity acting on the bowling ball is greater.

• The mass of the kickball is greater so it is easier to move.

• The force of gravity acting on the kickball is greater.
