Sha'Narriayh and Meytana were studying friction and decided to do an experiment. They placed four equally sized blocks made from different materials on an elevated plastic tray. They watched the blocks move down the tray.
Which block would experience the least amount of friction as it moved down the tray
ice block
sponge block
sandpaper block
plastic block
Mr. Alex mops the gym floor every day. When he finished mopping, he puts up the sign shown.
The effect of which force is weakened when the floor is wet?
friction
gravitation
inertia
magnetism
Bar magnets have a north pole (N) and a south pole (S). Jayden places a bar magnet on three small straws so that it can roll. Her set up is shown.
Placing which of the following objects at point X will cause the bar magnet to move away from point X?
an iron nail
an aluminum can
the north end of another magnet
the south end of another magnet
The picture shows the change in the motion of a ball.
Which is the best explanation of the change in motion shown?
energy is never created or destroyed
moving air can be used to move an object
motion is caused by exerting force on an object
electrical energy can be changed to mechanical energy
Which of the following is an example of energy causing change?
a leaf casting a shadow in sunlight
a ball rolling when a boy kicks it
a rock sitting at the top of a hill
a flag hanging on a flagpole
Xavier goes down a playground slide. Which of the following describes the role gravity plays on his motion?
it slows down his body as he slides towards the ground
it makes it easy for him to climb up the slide's stairs
it pulls his body down the slide toward the ground
it pushes him up each of the slide's stairs
When Angel tries to lift his backpack filled with books, he finds it hard to do. Which force pulls down on the backpack when he tries to lift it?
magnetic force
electrical force
Angel's pull
gravity
Kevin pushes a shopping cart with a certain force. Then, while Kevin pushes, Katelynne also pushes with the same amount of force in the same direction. How does Katelynne's pushing affect the motion of the cart?
the force is increased, so the cart moves faster
the friction is increased, so the cart stops moving
the force is decreased, so the cart moves slowly
the forces are balanced, so the cart's motion does not change
Joshua and Jeremiah are comparing and analyzing data from their toy car racing trials. When they ran the trials for car speed, what were Joshua and Jeremiah measuring?
the distance each car moved
the amount of time each car moved
the distance each car moved in a certain amount of time
the direction each car moved in a certain amount of time
Charlie and Adam each separately conducted an experiment to compare the running speeds of cats and dogs. Each of them dropped a treat and measured how fast the different animals ran to it. The table shows their results.
Charlie and Adam's Results
Student Results
Charlie The cats ran to the treat faster.
Adam The dogs ran to the treat faster.
Which of the following best compares the results AND explains what Charlie and Adam should do next?
Since their results differ, they should forget the results and start a new experiment.
Since their results are the same, they should conclude that cats and dogs are equally fast.
Since their results differ, they should conclude that neither cats nor dogs are fast runners.
Since their results differ, they should look for differences in how they each conducted the experiment.
Marge pushes a toy car across a floor. The car moves in a straight path. Which of the following changes as Marge pushes the car?
the car's mass
the car's length
the car's position
the car's path
Aaron pushes a box towards David. At the same time, David pushes the box back toward Aaron with the same amount of force. Which of the following best explains what will happen next?
the box will move because the forces are balanced
the box will move because the forces are unbalanced
the box will not move because the forces are balanced
the box will not move because the forces are unbalanced
Mr. Dragoni is pulling a cart in the picture. He is showing the students an example of how a force can change the motion of the object.
In which direction is Mr. Dragoni's pulling force acting on the cart?
away from Mr. Dragoni
toward Mr. Dragoni
down
up
Kasy is conducting an investigation to find out how the force needed to lift an object changes as its mass changes. Which of the following should Kasy do to make sure she conducts a good scientific investigation?
make sure others observe her taking her measurements
make sure others can repeat her experiment and results
make sure no one can repeat her experiment and results
make sure no one has already taken similar measurements
Mrs. Stedman pushes a shopping cart. How can she increase the speed of the cart?
by increasing the mass of the cart
by increasing his own mass
by pushing with more force
by pulling with less force
Ava rolls a tennis ball along the ground. Which of the following best explains what will happen if balanced forces act on the ball?
the ball's motion will not change
the ball's direction will change
the ball's speed will change
the ball will stop moving
Brandy has a box that is moving on a ramp, as shown. The box is moving as a result of a force.
Which of the following explains why Brandy's box is moving?
Brandy is exerting a pulling force on the box
the ramp is exerting a pulling force on the box
Brandy is exerting a pushing force on the box
the box is exerting a pulling force on the ramp
Logan kicks a ball with a certain force. Then Jason kicks the same ball with a larger force. Which of the following will most likely happen?
the ball will move faster and farther when Jason kicks it
the ball will move faster and farther when Logan kicks it
the ball will move more slowly and farther when Logan kicks it
the ball will move faster and not as far when Jason kicks it
