Martin needs to push a box up a ramp. Which forces will Martin work against MOST when he pushes the box up the ramp?
friction and gravity
inertia and magnetism
magnetism and friction
gravity and momentum
Students set up the investigation shown.
What can the students do to increase the speed that the marble will roll down the ramp?

lower the height of the board
use a longer board for the ramp
replace the board with a smoother board
Which is a force that keeps the planets in orbit around the Sun?
inertia
gravity

Two balls rolled down two identical inclined planes. The balls were exactly the same mass and size, but one ball rolled down the inclined plane faster. Identify a possible reason that one ball rolled faster than the other ball.
One ball was red and the other ball was blue.
One ball was new and the other ball was old
One ball was shiny and the other ball was dull.
One ball was sticky and the other ball was smooth.
The following trucks are pushed with the same amount of force.
Which truck will roll the farthest?
Truck 1
Truck 2
Truck 3
Truck 4
Wind is acting on the sails of a boat as shown in the illustration below. The force of the wind is greater than the force of the water.
Which will most likely happen to the boat if the wind increases?
The boat will speed up.
The boat will slow down.
The boat will stop moving.
The boat will keep moving at the same speed.
Which determines whether an object hit by an unbalanced force will change direction or continue moving in the same direction?
the direction in which the object was already moving
the direction in which the unbalanced force is traveling
the amount of gravity present when the unbalanced force hit the object
the amount of friction present when the unbalanced force hit the object
Samuel rolled four different balls across a table. All of the balls were the same size, but each had a different mass. The table shows the mass of each ball.
Samuel rolled each ball with the same amount of force. Which ball MOST likely rolled the farthest?
Ball 1
Ball 2
Ball 3
Ball 4
Shane and Brett push a toy car on a straight track. When Shane pushes the car, it goes a longer distance than when Brett pushes it. Which best explains this?
Brett applied more force to the car.
Shane applied more force to the car.
Brett did not apply any force to the car.
Shane applied the same amount of force as Brett.
A force causes an object to be in motion. Which will most likely happen to the motion of the object if a weaker force begins acting on the object in the opposite direction?
The speed of the object will increase.
The speed of the object will decrease.
The speed of the object will remain the same.
The object will immediately stop moving.
A plane carrying bags has a mass of 50,000 kg. After delivering the bags, it has a mass of 30,000 kg. Which would best describe how the plane’s motion would be affected on the way back?
The plane would travel at a faster speed.
The plane would travel at a slower speed.
The plane would travel at the same speed.
A book is lying on the dashboard of a car, which is stopped at a red light. Which is the most likely reason for the book to slide backward as the car begins to move forward?
The book has inertia.
The book has momentum.
The book has acceleration.
