What can cause a moving object to increase its speed in a forward direction?
a force pushing on the object from the opposite direction
a force that continually acts on the object in the direction the object is moving
an increase in the mass of the object
a decrease in the mass of the object
A pencil falls off of a desk. What moves the pencil toward the floor?
mass
friction
gravity
speed
A child rides a wagon down a hill. Eventually, the wagon comes to a stop. Which is
most responsible for causing the wagon to stop?
gravity acting on the wagon
friction acting on the wagon
the mass of the wagon
the mass of the child
A wagon is pushed in a straight line. How would an increase in friction on the
wagon wheels affect the wagon?
It would cause the wagon to move faster.
It would cause the wagon to change mass.
It would cause the wagon to change direction.
It would cause the wagon to slow down.
Which best explains why a bicycle slows down when its brakes are applied?
The brakes heat the rubber on the bicycle tires.
The brakes add energy to the bicycle.
The brakes increase the force of gravity on the bicycle.
The brakes cause frictional forces on the wheels of the bicycle.
A ball is kicked and rolls along a level field until it comes to a stop. What is most
responsible for the ball coming to a stop?
air
gravity
mass
friction
What causes a wagon to speed up when going down a hill?
gravity
friction
air pressure
mass
A girl walked for 30 minutes. She noticed that she traveled farther in the first 15
minutes of her walk than in the second 15 minutes. What can she conclude about
her walk?
She walked over many hills.
Her average speed was faster during the first half of her walk.
She walked in two different directions.
She was walking at a constant speed.
A runner measured the time it took him to run 5 km. What can he calculate from
the distance and time measurements?
direction
mass
speed
force
If a car is moving backward along a road, can its speed be measured?
Yes, it can, because the car does not have friction acting on it.
Yes, it can, because the car travels a distance in a certain amount of time.
No, it cannot, because speed can only be measured if the car is moving
forward.
No, it cannot, because the distance traveled backward by a car cannot be
measured.
Scientists discover an asteroid that is moving through space. What information is
needed to determine the average speed of the asteroid?
the mass and size of the asteroid
the distance the asteroid is from Earth
the direction the asteroid is moving and its distance from Earth
how far the asteroid has moved in 24 hours
A bowling ball moves across a flat surface at 7 feet per second. If a student is
asked to calculate the total distance traveled by the ball, what other information
does the student need to know?
amount of friction between the ball and the surface
amount of force applied to the ball
total time the ball rolled
mass of the ball
Which graph represents an object that is decreasing in speed?
Four solid balls, each with a different mass, are moving at the same speed. Which
ball would require the most force to stop its motion?
ball with a mass of 5 kg
ball with a mass of 10 kg
ball with a mass of 15 kg
ball with a mass of 20 kg
Which best describes the speed of a ball as it is thrown straight up into the air and
comes back down?
The ball goes up at a constant speed, stops, then comes down at a constant speed.
The ball goes up at a constant speed, stops, and increases speed as it comes down.
The ball goes slower and slower as it goes up, stops, and then goes faster
and faster as it comes down.
The ball goes slower and slower as it goes up, stops, and then comes down
at a constant speed.
A student uses a rubber band to launch the four objects shown in the table. If the student pulls the rubber band back the same amount each time, which object will most likely move the fastest when launched?
paper clip
piece of paper
eraser
rubber ball
