While observing the journey of a cyclist, Maria recorded the following data on the graph below. During which time was the cyclist travel at her fastest speed?
B: from 2 to 5 seconds
A: from 0 to 2 seconds
D: from 7 to 10 seconds
C: from 5 to 7 seconds
Examine the free body diagram of a bicyclist. Which of the following identifies the forces acting on the bicyclist that would result in a Net Force of 10N to left?
F_fric = 26N, F_push = 16N, F_grav = 7N
F_fric = 25N, F_push = 20N, F_grav = 15N
F_fric = 13N, F_push = 30N, F_grav = 15N
F_fric = 35N, F_push = 15N, F_grav = 11N
A box is floating in space, and the diagram below shows all the forces acting on it. Based on the forces shown, in which direction will the box move?

↓
Which of the following graphs shows Susan's model car traveling 15 kilometers per hour?
Which of the following claims is supported by the data?
Sylvia measures the distances traveled by two objects over the course of 5 hours and writes the results in the following tables
Both objects traveled the same distance.
Both objects increased their speed as they traveled.
Object A would have a steeper line than Object B on a distance-time graph.
Object A and Object B would have a horizontal line on a distance-time graph.
Steve has recorded his data on how far different types of transportation traveled. Which of the following identifies the correct labels for Steve's graph and rational?
He should show either distance or time on the x-axis.
He should show distance on the y-axis because it is affected by time.
He should show time on the x-axis because it is being tested.
He should show time on the x-axis because it increases less rapidly than distance does.
Maria took a bus from Central Station to Park Avenue, a distance of 8 miles. The bus left Central Station at 7:30 a.m. and did not make any stops along the way. What additional information does Maria need to determine the average speed of the bus for this trip?
The time the bus arrived at Park Avenue
The number of passengers on the bus
The color of the bus
The distance from Park Avenue to the next stop
As a roller coaster climbs to the highest point of the track, which of the following best explains the change in its energy?
The kinetic energy increases while the potential energy decreases.
The potential energy increases as the coaster gains height, while kinetic energy decreases.
Both kinetic and potential energy decrease as the coaster rises.
The kinetic energy remains constant as the potential energy decreases.
A cyclist rides along a straight road, and the distance from the starting point is recorded over time. The data is shown in the graph. What is the cyclist's speed at 13 minutes?
0.2 km per minute
0.15 km per minute
1 km per minute
2 km per minute
When a pendulum swings from its lowest point to its highest point, what percentage of its kinetic energy is converted into potential energy?
25%
50%
75%
100%
Which of the following is an example of kinetic energy?
A stretched rubber band
A moving bicycle
A book on a shelf
A charged phone
Two forces are acting on an object at the same time. Under which condition will these forces cause the object to change its motion?
when the forces are equal in size and act in the same direction
when the forces are equal in size and act in opposite directions
when the forces are unequal and act in opposite directions
when the forces balance each other out
What happens to an object when an unbalanced force acts on it?
It remains at rest.
It changes its speed and/or direction.
It disappears.
It becomes lighter.
What is the relationship between potential energy and kinetic energy according to the Law of Conservation of Energy?
They are unrelated.
Potential energy can be transformed into kinetic energy and vice versa.
Kinetic energy can only be transformed into potential energy.
They are the same type of energy.
What determines the speed of an object?
The color of the object
The distance it travels per unit of time
The shape of the object
The material of the object
