the mass of the child
the mass of the wagon
friction acting on the wagon
gravity acting on the wagon
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 was walking at a constant speed
she walked in two different directions
her average speed was faster during the first half of her walk
she walked over many hills
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
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 runner measured the time it took him to run 5 km. What can he calculate from
the distance and time measurements?
force
speed
mass
direction
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.
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
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 sped 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?
mass of the ball
Amount of friction between the ball and the surface
Amount of force applied to the ball
Total time the ball rolled
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
Amy's car is placed at the top of the ramp. She releases the car and it rolls to stop at 5 cm. What could Amy do to help the car move farther?
Add mass to the car
remove mass from the car
clap for the car
paint the car
Which students car will go the farthest distance when released from the top of the ramp?
10 gram car
14 gram car
16 gram car
20 gram car
What best describes the direction of Earth's gravitational force?
it pulls objects closer together
it keeps objects from getting too close
it pulls objects closer to Earth
it pulls objects away from the air
Which of the following will have the least effect on the motion of a ball?
the mass of the ball
the direction of the force
the strength of the force
the weather conditions
What does not affect the motion of an object?
direction of a force
mass of the object
color of the object
strength of the force
She Hulk applies more pull force than the other three people. Which direction will the rope move?
towards She Hulk
towards the three people
towards the sun
the rope will not move
The direction in which the force is applied determines the direction of motion.
TRUE
FALSE
