Two teams are playing “tugofwar” with a long rope. Both teams have six members each that are all about the same size and strength. During the game, two members of the same team let go of the rope at the same time and quit playing. Which will most likely occur next?
The rope will split into two pieces.
The teams will move toward each other.
The rope will move in the direction of the team with less members.
The rope will move in the direction of the team with more members.
Why are new tires that have texture on a car better than older, worn tires?
New tires have less mass than older tires.
New tires are less affected by gravity than older tires.
New tires allow the car to travel faster than older tires.
New tires provide more friction on the road than older tires.
Which will happen to an object at rest if no other forces are acting on it?
The object will stay at rest.
The object will begin to move.
The mass of the object will increase.
The gravity on the object will increase

tennis ball
soccer ball
basketball
Amy ran 5 miles in 1 hour. Can her speed be calculated?
No, because that's impossible.
Yes, because we know the distance and the time.
No, because we know the distance but not the time.
No, because we know the time but not the distance.

Allen pushes a toy car across three different surfaces. He pushes the car across a wooden floor, a tile floor, and a carpeted floor. He notices it is hardest to push the toy car across the carpeted floor. Which is the most likely reason it is hardest to push the car across the carpet?
The car has more mass when it is on the carpeted floor
The carpet creates more friction than the other surfaces
The car is affected most by gravity on the carpeted floor
The carpet pushes more against the car than the other surfaces
