Examine the image of the forces acting on a cart. Which additional force can be applied to make the cart move in the opposite direction? (Think carefully about each option!!!)
60 N towards the west
40 N towards the west
40 N towards the east
60 N towards the east
John and his son are applying forces to move a box, as shown.
What are the magnitude and direction of the net force?
3 N towards the east
3 N towards the west
9 N towards the east
9 N towards the west
A student applies forces to a cart. Which model accurately shows a cart that will remain stationary?
John and Alex play tug-of-war with a rope.
If John wins the game, what would likely be the combination of forces applied?
Both John and Alex applied a force of 50 N each.
Both John and Alex applied a force of 50 N each.
John applied a force of 50 N, and Alex applied a force of 80 N.
John applied a force of 100 N, and Alex applied a force of 40 N.
A skateboard loaded with boxes is on a level surface. Two forces (F1 and F2) are acting on the skateboard as shown in the image.
What is the net force acting on the skateboard, and in which direction will the skateboard move?
55 N; in the same direction as force F1
55 N; in the same direction as force F2
195 N; in the same direction as force F1
195 N; in the same direction as force F2
A student investigates how unbalanced forces affect the motion of an object. The student applies a force of 2 N to a toy car in the direction shown.
The student wants to slow the motion of the car without causing it to stop or reverse direction. What force should the student apply to the toy car to achieve the desired result?
1 N towards the left
1 N towards the right
2 N towards the right
2 N towards the left
What relationship exists between mass and inertia?
As mass increases, inertia decreases.
As mass increases, inertia increases.
Mass cancels the property of inertia.
Mass cancels the property of inertia.
The table shows the details of three moving objects.
A student claims that it is easier to stop Object 2 than to stop Objects 1 and 3. What justifies the student’s claim?
Object 2 has the least mass, so it has the least inertia.
Object 2 has the least speed, so it requires the most force to stop.
Object 2 is the slowest, so it experiences the least friction.
Object 2 is the lightest, so it experiences the smallest gravitational force.
The image shows two identical wheelbarrows. One is loaded with bricks, and the other is empty.
Samantha pushes each wheelbarrow with the same force. Which wheelbarrow will be most difficult to push?
Wheelbarrow 2 since it has less mass and, therefore, less inertia
Wheelbarrow 2 since it has less mass and, therefore, more inertia
Wheelbarrow 1 since it has more mass and, therefore, less inertia
Wheelbarrow 1 since it has more mass and, therefore, more inertia
The image shows a compartment of a stopped train and a ball at rest on its floor. The arrow indicates the direction of motion of the train.
How will the ball move when the train starts from rest and again when it stops?
When the train starts moving, the ball will move to the right, and when the train stops moving, the ball will continue to move to the right.
When the train starts moving, the ball will move to the left, and when the train stops moving, the ball will continue to move to the left.
When the train starts moving, the ball will move to the right, and when the train stops moving, the ball will move to the left.
When the train starts moving, the ball will move to the left, and when the train stops moving, the ball will move to the right.
A student performs an investigation by following a procedure, as shown.
The student observes that the card quickly moves out from under the coin, and the coin falls into the cup rather than moving along with the card, as shown.
Which statement explains the observation?
Inertia causes an object to fall to the ground.
An object at rest has the tendency to remain at rest.
Inertia causes an object to change its speed and direction.
An object maintains its position regardless of the force applied to it.
A student places four bricks with different masses on a surface and applies a force of 2 N on each brick. The table shows how each brick responds to the force.
What can be concluded from the activity?
Brick 1 has the least mass because it shows the most inertia.
Brick 2 has greater mass than Brick 1 because Brick 2 shows less inertia than Brick 1.
Brick 3 has more mass than Brick 2 because Brick 3 shows more inertia than Brick 2.
Brick 4 has the greatest mass because it shows the most inertia.
Juanita is driving her car. When Juanita presses the brakes to slow down for a traffic light, her body experiences a forward motion while the car decelerates.
Why does Juanita’s body move forward while pressing on the brakes?
Juanita moves forward due to an equal and opposite force on the car, and her body is coming to rest.
Juanita moves forward due to unbalanced force on her body, and her body is coming to rest.
Juanita moves forward due to inertia, and her body continues to be in a state of motion.
Juanita moves forward due to unbalanced forces on the car, and her body continues to be in a state of motion.
Examine the diagram that shows two men pushing a car.
How are the forces exerted by the men acting on the car?
as balanced forces with a net force of 5 N in opposite directions
as balanced forces with a net force of 105 N in the same direction
as unbalanced forces with a net force of 5 N in opposite directions
as unbalanced forces with a net force of 105 N in the same direction
A student walks along a sidewalk on his way to school. What is true about this scenario?
The Earth exerts a greater force on the student than the student exerts on the Earth.
The Earth exerts a force on the student, but the student exerts no force on the Earth.
The Earth and the student both exert equal forces on each other.
The Earth exerts no force on the student, but the student exerts a force on the Earth.
