A volleyball game is being played at Watauga Middle School against North Oaks Middle School. An athlete is preparing to serve the volleyball across the court while holding it motionless in their hand. The ball will remain motionless until an outside force makes it go up to serve. This scenario applies in line with Newton's -

Students were testing the effect of force on two different objects. Object 1 had a mass of 10 kg and Object 2 had a mass of 15 kg. Both objects were pushed with the same force. Which of the following statements accurately describe the motion of the objects?
Select TWO correct answers.
Both objects will move in the same direction at the same speed.
Both objects will move in the same direction with Object 1 having a greater speed.
Object 2 will travel a farther distance with a lesser speed than Object 1.
Object 1 will travel a farther distance with a greater speed than Object 2.
According to Newton’s Third Law, what happens when a runner pushes back against the ground to propel themselves forward?
The ground does not exert any force on the runner.
The ground simultaneously exerts twice as much force on the runner.
The ground simultaneously exerts half as much force on the runner.
The ground simultaneously exerts the same amount of force on the runner.
A box is being pulled by two people to the left. One person is pulling with a force of 7N and the other person is pulling with a force of 3N.
The box will move with a net force of (a) to the (b)
A box is being pulled by two people to the right. One person is pulling with a force of 10N and the other person is pulling with a force of 5N.
The box will move with a net force of (a) to the (b)
1.) Newton’s Laws of Motion can all be observed in Earth’s tectonic activities. Variables involved in how the plates move can be determined using the equation F = ma from Newton’s (a) law.
2.) When one plate collides with another plate at rest, the first plate can slow down and cause the second plate to move, demonstrating Newton’s (b) law.
3.) When two plates slide sideways past each other at a transform boundary, this action can cause an earthquake of equal force, describing Newton’s (c) law.
A student pushes a 41.5 kilogram bookshelf across a smooth floor with a net force of 57 N.
What is the approximate acceleration of the bookshelf?
14 m/s2
1.4 m/s2
2.5 m/s2
.77 m/s2
A student bounces a basketball off the gym floor.
Which statement correctly describes the action-reaction force pair that causes the ball to bounce?
The gym floor pushes up on the ball with a greater amount of force than the ball pushes down on the floor
The gym floor pushes up on the ball with a greater amount of force than gravity pulls down on the ball
The gym floor pushes up on the ball as the ball pushes down on the floor with an equal amount of force
The ball pushes down on the floor with a greater amount of force than the ball pushes up on the ball
Select ALL that apply.
Newton's first Law of Motion states that if there is no net force acting on an object it will:
remain at rest
move with constant velocity
have no acceleration
