David and his friend Delia arrive at the playground. David weighs more than Delia. What will most likely happen to David and Delia on the seesaw?
David and Delia will not move because their forces are balanced.
David and Delia will not move because their forces are unbalanced.
David will move up, and Delia will move down because their forces are unbalanced.
David will move down, and Delia will move up because their forces are unbalanced.
Look at the image below. Which statement provides the best description of the forces being presented?
The tug of war game is balanced because they are all holding onto the rope.
The tug of war game is unbalanced because the people on the left have more force than the man on the right.
The tug of war game is unbalanced because the man on the right is more than the people on the left.
The tug of war game is balanced because they are all having fun.
Which of the following investigations shows a balanced force?
Two dogs of equal weight play tug of war on a toy.
A book falling off a desk.
Three adults push a large box across the floor.
A fourth grader pushes a shopping cart in the store.
Which statement best supports the claim that gravitational force affects the motion of an object?
The soccer ball flying up after the soccer player kicks the ball
The soccer ball coming down after the soccer player kicks the ball
The soccer ball has the same gravitational force as the soccer player
The soccer ball have no gravitational force
A fourth grade student dropped an egg and feather at the same time. Which statement best describes the relationship between gravitational force and the objects?
The gravitational forces pulled the egg down faster because the feather is affected by air resistance.
The gravitational forces pulled the feather down faster because it has less mass than the egg.
The gravitational forces pulled the feather and the egg down at the same speed because they are equal masses.
The gravitational force had zero effect on either object because they both fell.
Which argument best supports the image below?
The basketball and tennis ball will hit the ground at the same time because of gravitational forces
The basketball will hit the ground after the tennis ball because it is larger so it takes more time to fall
The tennis ball will hit the ground after the basketball because the basketball has a higher mass
The tennis ball will hit the ground before the basketball because it is smaller so it takes less time to fall
Which of the following statements best supports the claim that gravitational force affects the motion of an object?
Gravitational force is a natural phenomenon that only affects objects in space.
Gravitational force pulls objects toward the center of the Earth, causing them to fall when dropped.
Gravitational force pushes objects away from each other, making them float in the air.
Gravitational force has no impact on objects on Earth; it only influences celestial bodies.
Tommy is at the zoo with his mother, father, and little sister. His sister is 12 years old and is in a wheelchair. Tommy wants to take his sister to go see the Gorilla exhibit but there are stairs. What statement best describes the usage of a machine to help Tommy and his sister see the gorillas?
Tommy can carry his sister up the stairs while in her wheelchair
Tommy can ask his mother or father to bring his sister with them as they climb the stairs
Tommy can ask his mother or father to help his sister push the wheelchair up the ramp
Tommy can ask his sister to go down the slide
Which of the following best describes how a pulley system changes forces when used to lift up an item?
When the man pulls down on the rope to raise the object, the force is being transferred through the machine instead of having to lift the object by himself.
The pulley acts like a second pair of hands and lifts the box on its own.
The pulley uses force from the crate to pull the man down.
The pulley allows for energy to be transferred from the person to the crate.
A student claims that whenever they kick a soccer ball in the air, the force of gravity impacts the soccer ball. Which piece of evidence would support the student’s claim?
The soccer ball moves at a quick speed the moment the student kicks the soccer ball.
The soccer ball slows down and falls towards the ground.
The soccer ball goes up towards the sky when kicked.
The soccer ball is caught by the goalie.
Students want to investigate how a marble can demonstrate a balanced force. Which situation below would BEST demonstrate a balanced force?
Student 1 sets up a ramp with a book and rolls a marble down the book.
Student 2 pushes a marble along a smooth surface, and the marble rolls along the surface.
Student 3 blows on a marble with a straw, but the marble does not move.
Student 4 pushes a marble across the carpet, and the marble slowly moves along the surface.
