Brian and Emily are testing different paper airplane designs to see which will allow a plane to travel the farthest distance. Emily folds her plane and attaches a paperclip to the front of it. After she throws the plane, it travels about fifty feet and then falls to the ground. Why does the plane eventually fall to the ground?

The force of gravity is greater than the force keeping the plane in the air.

The force of air resistance stops acting on the plane.

The plane was not designed to carry a load like the paperclip.

The paper clip creates a magnetic force that attracts the plane to the ground.

Julio and Tammy are moving a dresser. They are arguing about which direction to move it. Julio is pushing the dresser with a force of 5 Newtons towards Tammy. Tammy is pushing the dresser towards Julio with a force of 10 Newtons.

The dresser moves towards Tammy, then back towards Julio.

Some mornings Marcie rides in her mother's car to school, and other mornings she rides in her father's car. Marcie noticed that when she rides in her mother's car, it takes less time to travel the same distance as when she is in her father's car. Based on the information above, which of the following statements is true?

The mother's car travels at a greater speed than the father's car.

The mother's car travels at a slower speed than the father's car.

The mother's car travels at the same speed as the father's car.

The speed of the cars does not affect the time it takes to travel the same distance.

The force of gravity appears to attract all objects equally, regardless of mass. Which of the following demonstrates this idea?

A bowling ball and a marble will fall to the ground at the same rate when someone drops them.

Two cars traveling along the road at the same speed in opposite directions.

A rubber ball will bounce much higher than a wooden ball, even if they weigh the same.

Magnets can both repel and attract each other, depending on how they come into contact.

Peter is playing tug of war with Michael. They both understand that to win the game of tug of war, one player must pull the flag over their opponent's line, but during this game, the flag tied to the center of the rope is not moving. What is happening to the rope in this example?

Peter and Michael are applying equal forces in opposite directions.

Peter is applying more force in one direction.

Michael is applying more force in one direction.

Peter and Michael are applying equal forces in the same direction.

Noah is playing with a soccer ball at the top of a hill. Noah kicks the ball and it rolls down the hill. Which of the following best describes what happens as the ball rolls?

The force of gravity pulls the ball downhill.

The force of friction causes the ball to roll faster down the hill.

The force of gravity is balanced by air resistance acting on the ball.

The force of friction is greater than the force of gravity acting on the ball.

Sofia pushes with equal force on two objects. Object 1 has twice as much mass as Object 2. Which of the following statements is true?

Object 2 will move faster than object 1.

Both objects will remain still.

Object 1 will move faster than object 2.

Both objects will move at the same rate.
