John pushed two identical toy cars across the same flat smooth floor. Why did both cars travel the same distance?
because he applied different forces to the two cars
because he pushed the cars at the same time
because he applied the same force to each of the two cars
because he pushed the cars at different times
As Chris and his dad add items to their shopping cart, which will most likely occur?
The cart will become easier to move because the items will increase the mass of the cart.
The cart will become more difficult to move because the items will increase the mass of the cart.
The cart will become more difficult to move because the items will decrease the mass of the cart.
The cart will become easier to move because the items will decrease the mass of the cart.
Katie was pulling a sled with her puppy in it. Katie’s sister then got into the sled with the puppy. How would the sled’s speed most likely change after Katie’s sister got into the sled?
The speed would decrease due to the change in mass.
The speed would decrease due to the change in gravity.
The speed would increase due to the change in mass.
The speed would increase due to the change in friction.

Chris climbs onto a skateboard ramp halfway between the top and the bottom of the ramp. Because gravity acts on Chris, which is most likely to happen?
He won’t move.
He will roll down the ramp.
He will float above the ramp.
He will roll up the ramp.
Ana is pushing a wheelbarrow of rocks. She stops and unloads half of the rocks. How will this effect the force needed to move the wheelbarrow?
Gravity is decreased, making the wheelbarrow harder to move.
Gravity is increased, making the wheelbarrow easier to move.
Mass is decreased, making the wheelbarrow easier to move.
Friction is increased, making the wheelbarrow harder to move.
How fast was a train moving if it traveled 500 miles in 4 hours at a constant speed? (speed = distance ÷ time)
