TCAP Review Force and Motion

When Jonah flies his paper airplane, it flies through the air for a few feet and then begins to fall. What would explain the plane's ability to travel forward for a few feet without falling?

• The speed of the plane is equal to the speed of the oncoming air that pushes on the plane

• The force of the air pushing up on the plane is equal to the force of gravity pulling down on the plane

• The force of gravity pulling down on the plane is greater than the force of the air pushing up on the plane

• The speed of the plane is greater than the speed of the oncoming air that pushes on the plane.

A water rocket uses an amount of water and pressurized air to send a plastic rocket several feet into the air. As the water and air rush out the tail end of the rocket, the rocket shoots into the air. Explain the motion of the rocket.

• The inertia of the water and air must be overcome.

• The force of gravity of the rocket is greater than the water.

• The force of gravity must be overcome to achieve lift.

• For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Multiple forces can act on the same object at the same time. When will two forces acting on the same object result in an unbalanced force on that object?

• when the two forces cancel each other

• when the two forces produce a net force of 0 N

• when the two forces apply different magnitudes from opposite directions.

• when the two forces apply the same magnitude from opposite directions
