On which surface will a toy truck travel the fastest?
a track sloping upward
a track that is completely flat
a track sloping gently downward
a track sloping steeply downward
Christina kicks a ball. The ball moves faster when she kicks it on the concrete sidewalk than when she kicks it on the grass. Why does the ball travel slower on the grass than the sidewalk?
The grass has more friction.
The grass attracts more wind.
The grass has a higher temperature.
The grass increases Earth’s gravity.
A man is pushing a ball up a hill. If the man stops pushing the ball and steps out of the way, what will most likely happen to the ball?
It will stop on the hill.
It will roll down the hill.
It will roll to the side toward the man.
Michael is using the balls above for an experiment.
No, he is incorrect because the lighter ball has less mass, so it is affected more by gravity.
Yes, he is correct because the heavier ball has more mass, so it is affected less by friction
No, he is incorrect because the lighter ball has less mass, so it will travel farther
Yes, he is correct because the heavier ball has more mass, so it will move farther.
A student uses a rubber band to launch the four objects shown in the table.
paper clip
piece of paper
eraser
rubber ball
Movers slide a box down the ramp of a truck.
friction
gravity
inertia
magnetism
Which of the following would increase the motion of a ball after it is kicked?
a high, grassy surface
a surface sloped uphill
a surface sloped downhill
Students rolled a 22-gram car down three different ramps. The results from the investigation are shown in the table above.
There was more force applied to the car on the wood ramp.
There was less friction on the surface of the wood ramp.
The wood ramp was higher than the other ramps.
The car on the wood ramp had more mass.
Four different students take turns pushing a large, heavy ball on the school parking lot. What is the BEST way to determine which student used the most force to push the ball?
compare the sizes of the students
compare the ages of the students
compare the distances that the ball rolled
compare the number of times the ball was rolled
Which material should be used on a bicycle ramp to increase friction?
shiny paper
rough paper
smooth wood
wet plastic
Sam is building a car to race down a ramp. The car weighs 100 grams. Which could Sam do to increase the speed of the car?
increase the mass of the car
decrease the mass of the car
increase the friction on the ramp
Katie weighs 60 pounds and Marsha weighs 83 pounds. Both girls are 10 years old. Which statement is true about the force needed to move each girl?
Katie will require more force to be moved.
Marsha will require more force to be moved.
Both Katie and Marsha will require the same force to be moved.
Shane and Brett push a toy car on a straight track. When Shane pushes the car, it goes a longer distance than when Brett pushes it. Which best explains this?
Brett applied more force to the car.
Shane applied more force to the car.
Brett did not apply any force to the car.
Shane applied the same amount of force as Brett.
Which is true when equal and opposite forces are applied to an object?
The forces combine.
There is forward movement.
There is no change in motion.
The speed of the object increases.
Two cars, a heavier car and lighter car, are pushed with equal force, and are affected by the same amount of friction. Which best describes the effect on the distance the cars will move?
The lighter car will travel a longer distance because it has more mass.
The heavier car will travel a shorter distance because it has more mass
The lighter car will travel a shorter distance because its wheels will roll more quickly
The heavier car will travel a longer distance because its wheels will roll more slowly.
