c)
Block C
d)
Block A
8.

10.
If the graph is describing the motion of a sled, which of the following might explain why Surface A was the fastest?
a)
it had more surface area touching the object than the other surfaces
b)
it was the only surface that sloped upward
c)
it was the roughest and driest surface
d)
it was the only surface that was lubricated and slippery
11.

a)
Surface B
b)
Surface C

the fastest way to drive from one part of town to another
b)
the best material to use when constructing a new road (gravel, asphalt, concrete, etc.)
c)
the safest height to build a bridge crossing over a river
d)
the proper width to build a road and keep traffic flowing smoothly
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 speed up
b)
it would remain the same
c)
It would slow down
d)
it would change direction
14.
If the forces are the same in Scenario A and Scenario C, which ball would move the fastest?
a)
the ball in Scenario C
b)
there is no way to determine which ball would move the fastest
c)
both balls would move at the same speed
d)
the ball in Scenario A
15.
The ball in Scenario D is moving at the same speed as the ball in Scenario A. This is because:
a)
the relationship of force to mass are the same in both scenarios.
b)
the ball in Scenario D must have unseen forces acting on it.
c)
the surface in Scenario D is lubricated.
d)
the ball in Scenario D has a smaller diameter, but it is the same weight as the ball in Scenario A.
