Which of the following objects has the greatest gravitational force?
A bunsen burner
A chrome book
Your desk
A pencil
The graph above shows the data collected by a student
as he watched a deer run around a field.
When was the deer running the fastest?
Between times 8 and 10 seconds.
Between times 0 and 5 seconds
During times 5 to 8 seconds
Between times 5 and 9 seconds
Which situation below describes velocity?
35 mph north
60 seconds south
100 mph
Moving south west at 12:30pm
How do you know if the velocity of an object is constant?
When the speed changes slightly.
When the direction changes but the speed stays the same.
When there is motion in a straight line.
When direction changes an even number of times during a journey.
What is force?
The speed and direction of an object in motion
The push or pull exerted on an object.
The impact of gravity on an object.
Movement that is only exerted upwards.
What causes a ball to stop rolling on a flat surface?
Potential Energy
Net force
Gravity
Friction
Which surface would have a greater amount of friction?
The rough surface (surface B)
The smooth surface (surface A)
You cannot tell based on the image shown
Both will have the same impact on friction
How is mass different from weight?
Mass and weight are the same
Mass is the force exerted by gravity on the object and weight is the amount of material contained in the object.
Mass is the amount of material contained in an object and weight is the force exerted by gravity on the object.
Mass is how much space an object takes up and weight is the amount of material contained in an object
If an astronaut went to the moon which would stay the same?
The weight of the astronaut would stay the same.
Both the mass and weight of the astronaut would stay the same.
The mass of the astronaut would stay the same.
There must be more information to calculate the question asked.
The following graph shows the distance Johnny traveled on his skateboard trip and the amount of time it took him to travel that distance.
What happened between times 10 and 15 minutes?
Johnny was not in motion.
Johnny moved the fastest.
Johnny was moving slower.
Johnny fell off his skateboard.
What is the average speed of Johnny between 15 and 30 minutes
2 km / 30 min = 0.6 km/m
4 km / 4 min = 1 km/m
3 km / 15 min = 0.2 km/m
6 km / 30 min = 0.2 km/m
What is a centripetal force?
An unbalanced force that only occurs on the moon.
An unbalanced force that causes an object to move in a circular path.
An unbalanced force that cause an object to stop moving.
An unbalanced force only occurs on other planets.
If the average speed of a car is 40 mph, how long will it take a car to travel 500 miles?
500 miles / 40 mph = 12.5 hours
500 miles x 50 mph = 25 hours
40 mph / 500 miles = 80 hours
40 miles / 500 mph = 80 hours
Sally and Becky are pushing a ball up a hill. Sally is pushing with a force of 8 N. Becky is pushing with a force of 5 N. What is the net force on the ball?
3 N up the hill
40 N up the hill
13 N up the hill
1.6 N up the hill
What would be a useful reference point in this situation?
You must complete a mathematical calculation to obtain the answer.
The person holding the camera
The chair, table, carpet, or windows.
The dog jumping up and down
What is a vector quantity?
The quantity that is used to measure force.
When an object travels north south east or west.
When the direction of an object in motion changes.
It has both size and direction.
What is the formula to solve for distance?
Distance = velocity x time
Distance = speed x time
Distance = time / speed
Distance = speed / time
Which is the type of friction causes an object to stay in place even though a force is applied it it.
Static Friction
Kinetic Friction
Potential Friction
Net force Friction
What is the law of universal gravitation?
Gravity attracts the moon to Earth.
Gravity can only exist on Earth.
All objects in the universe attract each other through gravitational force.
The greater the mass the greater the gravity.
When graphing about distance and time, what does the slope on a graph tell you about your data?
The slope of the line is the average force.
The slope of the line is the average speed.
The slope of the line is the distance traveled.
The slope of the line explains time.
