the block is blowing air towards "Ball B"
b)
the block is a magnet (and "Ball B" is made of a magnetic material)
c)
the block is located on the highest part of the surface
d)
the block is heavier than "Ball B"
2.
"Ball A" was dropped from a higher elevation. Which of the following forces is responsible for it falling downward?
a)
friction
b)
gravity
c)
magnetism
d)
electricity
3.

a)
Swimmer 1 is faster than the average swimmer.
b)
Swimmer 2 would be better in long-distance races.
c)
It would take twice as long for Swimmer 2 to swim 100 meters than Swimmer 1.
d)
Swimmer 2 is not able to swim 100 meters.
4.
The graph above shows a race between Swimmer 1 and Swimmer 2. In the end, Swimmer 2 was the winner. Which of the following could explain this result?
a)
The race was for only 50 meters.
b)
Swimmer 1 was heading in the wrong direction.
c)
There were other competitors in the race.
d)
Swimmer 2 was moving faster than Swimmer 1

a)
gravity
b)
friction
c)
electricity
d)
magnetism
6.

a)
Both blocks would move in the same direction, but at different speeds.
b)
Both blocks would stay still.
c)
Both blocks would move in the same direction and at the same speed.
d)
Both blocks would move at the same speed, but in different directions.

the best material to use when constructing a new road (gravel, asphalt, concrete, etc.)
b)
the proper width to build a road and keep traffic flowing smoothly
c)
the fastest way to drive from one part of town to another
d)
the safest height to build a bridge crossing over a river
10.
An identical object was placed onto the three different surfaces and set into motion with an identical force. The bars show how far it took the object to travel 10 meters. Based on the graph, which surface had the greatest friction?
a)
surface A
b)
Surface B
c)
Surface C
d)
Friction is the same on every surface
11.
Which of the following might explain why the object on Surface A traveled the fastest?
a)
it was the roughest surface
b)
it was the only surface that sloped upward
c)
it had more surface area touching the object than the other surfaces
d)
it was the only surface that was lubricated
12.
If the forces are the same in Scenario A and Scenario C, which ball would move the fastest?
a)
both balls would move at the same speed
b)
there is no way to determine which ball would move the fastest
c)
the ball in Scenario C
d)
the ball in Scenario A
13.
In Scenario A, a ball is being pushed along by a large force. If the force were suddenly decreased (like in Scenario B), what would happen to the motion of the ball?
a)
it would remain the same
b)
It would slow down
c)
it would change direction
d)
it would speed up
14.
The ball in Scenario D is moving at the same speed as the ball in Scenario A. This is because:
a)
the surface in Scenario D is lubricated.
b)
the relationship of force to mass are the same in both scenarios
c)
the ball in Scenario D has a smaller diameter, but it is the same weight as the ball in Scenario A.
d)
the ball in Scenario D must have unseen forces acting on it
