What type of force pulls down on an object?
Normal
Friction
Gravity
Applied
This type of force is what is prevents you from falling through the floor when walking in the hallway.
Normal
Gravity
Frictional
Applied
A car is moving at a constant velocity to the east. What direction is the acceleration acting in this scenario?
East
West
North
South
There is no acceleration
An object is speeding up towards the right. What direction is the acceleration acting upon it?
Left
Right
Up
Down
An object slows down as it slides across a table due to friction. What direction is the net force?
Same direction as the object is moving
Opposite direction as the object is moving
There is no net force
If an object that is moving at a constant velocity experiences no net force, it will
Speed up
Slow down
stay at rest
continue moving at the same velocity
If an object at rest experiences a net force to the left, it will
accelerate towards the left
accelerate towards the right
stay at rest
If an object experiences a net force in the opposite direction that it is moving, it will
Speed up
Slow down
Stay at rest
Continue on with a constant velocity
If you were to travel to Venus, which of the following would change?
Your weight
Your mass
Both your weight and your mass
Nothing would change
Which of the following is considered a non-contact force that we have been talking about?
Friction
Tension
Normal
Gravity
Which force diagram best represents the forces seen acting on the book?
Which force diagram best represents the forces seen acting on the box being pushed to the right? Assume the table is frictionless.
Which force diagram best represents the forces seen acting on the box being pushed to the left across a table at constant motion? There is friction involved.
You kick a soccer ball in gym class and it rolls across the floow (never goes into the air). The split second after your foot leaves the soccer ball, which force(s) are acting on it?
Gravity
Normal
Inertia
Applied
You roll a tennis ball down the hallway. If there is no friction between the ball and floor, what should happen to the ball?
The ball speeds up
The ball moves at a constant speed
The ball continually accelerates
The ball slows to a stop eventually
The cart shown is pulled towards the right by the attached mass with a constant force on a frictionless track. What forces below are acting on the cart as it is being pulled?
Gravity
Tension
Normal
Momentum
A wagon is pulled across the floor (ignore friction) with a constant, unbalanced force. The cart will
speed up and then maintain a constant speed
slow down
maintain a constant speed
accelerate continually
The cart shown is being pulled at a constant velocity across frictionless flooring. What would happen to the cart if the string were to break?
It would move at a constant speed
It would slow down
It would speed up
It would accelerate constantly
