Mrs. Winter's class is playing tug of war at recess. They decide to play boys against girls. There are 11 girls and 6 boys. As soon as the game began, the girls were able to move the rope to their side. Why?
There was an equal amount of force pulling on each side making it unbalanced.
There was an equal amount of force pushing on each side making it unbalanced.
There was more force on the girls side making it unbalanced.
There was less force on the girls side making it unbalanced.
Balanced forces have either a push or pull that is __________.
Equal
Unequal
Hard
Easy
John was blowing a feather across the dinner table. When he was blowing with all the breathe he had in him the feather went across the entire table, but when he just blew a little it only went to the edge of his plate. What statement best describes why the feather went across the table?
John used a strong blowing force causing the feather to travel a greater distance.
John used a weak blowing force causing the feather to travel a greater distance.
John used a pulling force to cause the feather to travel a greater distance.
John is a fire breathing dragon.
Stephanie was at the skateboard park at the top of a ramp. She was trying to decide which ramp to take her skateboard down. One ramp was 9 feet high and the other ramp was 5 feet high. She wanted to travel as far as she possibly could without having to use any pushing force. She chose the ramp that was 9 feet high. What statement explains why she chose the 9 ft. ramp to travel the greater distance?
Stephanie knows the lower the incline the greater distance you will travel.
Stephanie knows the higher the incline the slower you go.
Stephanie knows the lower the incline the faster you go.
Stephanie knows the higher the incline the greater distance you will travel.
Which scenario is showing gravity as the main force moving an object?
My pencil fell to the ground when I dropped it.
A plane taking off.
A feather floating in the wind.
A boy threw a ball up in the air.
A car was traveling on a dirt road and on a concrete road. The car was able to travel on the concrete road without using as much force. Which description explains this scientific fact?
The dirt road has more friction because the surface is not smooth.
The concrete road has more friction because the surface is smoother.
The concrete road has more gravity because the surface is not smooth.
The concrete road has less gravity because the surface is not smooth.
