Six friends are playing a game of tug-of-war. They are split evenly into two teams so the same number of people can hold on to each side. A flag is tied to the center of a rope. Each team pulls on one side of the rope and tries to move the flag to their side. As the game of tug-of-war begins, the teams begin to tug, and the flag starts moving toward the team on the right. Which statement best describes what is occurring in relation to Newton’s First Law?
The team on the right is applying less force to make the forces balanced.
The team on the right is applying less force to make the forces unbalanced.
The team on the right is applying more force to make the forces unbalanced.
The team on the right is applying more force to make the forces balanced.
If both teams pull with equal force, the forces are _______ and the flag will _______. Which terms best complete the sentence?
(a) (b)
After 7 minutes of playing, a member from the right side gets tired and stops pulling on the rope. Predict what is likely to happen at this point in the game.
The right team will win because the left team is applying more force, making the forces balanced.
The left team will win, because they are applying more force, making the forces unbalanced.
The right team will win because the left team is applying more force, making the forces unbalanced.
The left team will win because they are applying more force, making the forces balanced.

Which is the correct order of the points from left to right on the graph?
0 km, 0 hr
10 km, 10 hr
10 km, 12 hr
14 km, 16 hr

3.0 m
4.0 m
A plane is traveling in a straight line as it flies through the air. The plane’s engine uses force to push the plane forward in a straight line through the air. Air resistance is a force that pushes the plane in a direction opposite its path. If the force of the engine equals the force of air resistance, the plane _________. If the force of the engine is greater than the force of air resistance, the plane _____. If the force of the engine is less than the force of air resistance, the plane _______. Which words, in order of appearance, best complete the sentences?
(a) (b) (c)
