The illustration shows the forces in Newtons (N) acting on each group. Which direction will the groups move under these conditions?

The illustration shows all the forces in Newtons (N) acting on a box. The sum of all the forces acting on the truck results in a force acting on the truck

Students are investigating how mass affects the force needed to move an object. They attached a wooden block to a spring scale and placed a 10 g mass on top of the block and pulled it 50 cm across the table.What change(s) to their set-up would result in a larger force reading on the spring scale?

The nozzle of a rocket is pointed downward so that as fuel is ignited, the exhaust pushes downward. Why is the nozzle located at the bottom of the rocket instead of at the top of the rocket?

Which of the following graphs shows how the mass of an object affects the amount of force needed to move it?

The head of a hammer is often made of steel. This makes the head heavy, which helps create a strong force for driving nails. Steel is also strong. The head of a hammer must be strong to resist what force?

What conclusion can be made about the forces acting on the teeter totter?

A diagram of forces being applied to a box by four people is illustrated below. If the net force acting on the box is 10 to the right, what is the magnitude of the force applied by the boy pulling to the left?

Newtons third law describes action and reaction forces. A table of four scenarios is provided. Which of the scenarios described in the table show equal and opposite reaction forces?

A property of matter by which it remains at rest or in uniform motion in the same straight line unless acted upon by some external force.

How much force is required to make a mass of one kilogram go faster at a rate of one meter per second.

A system that uses coordinates or background objects to establish position or measure movement of a point in space.

An object at rest remains at rest and an object in motion maintains its velocity unless it experiences a net force.

Which Law of Motion says that force equals mass times acceleration?

For every action force, there is a reaction force equal in strength opposite in direction.

______ is speed in a given direction.

What is a change in velocity?

A push or a pull

When forces are in balance, the object is at ______

A change in position compared to other objects.

What is the sum of all forces acting on an object

A baseball bat hits a baseball with a force of 100 Newtons. What is the force and its direction exerted by the ball on the bat?

According to Newton’s Third Law, if someone jumps off a skateboard, the skateboard will roll backwards because -

The result when two forces of the same strength (value) act on an object in opposite directions at the same time.

Scenario

Mrs. Vengley’ s class won a day at the bowling alley for their good behavior all year. When they arrived, Griffin picked the green ball that weighed 6 lbs, and Amelia picked the yellow ball that weighed 12 lbs. Amelia was having a hard time getting her ball to roll down the lane. Griffin was doing great! He was pushing his ball hard, and it was going straight down the center. He even got a strike twice!

Select a scientific explanation about why Amelia was having a hard time.
