30s - Q11
What will happen to an object when it is pushed with a greater force?
It will have a greater change in velocity.
It will slow down.
It will speed up.
It will have a greater change in force.
30s - Q12
When an object is pushed in the same direction it is already traveling, the object will ___________.
slow down
change direction
stop
speed up
30s - Q13
In soccer, players kick a soccer ball across a flat field.
At practice one day, three soccer balls that have the same
mass were rolling across the field. They were each kicked
by a soccer player, but not from the same direction.
Each soccer ball changed speed as a result of being kicked.
Use the information in the diagram to answer.
Which soccer ball(s) experienced the strongest force when it was kicked? How do you know?
The purple soccer ball because it has the fastest ending speed.
The blue soccer ball because it changed speed the most.
The purple and yellow soccer balls because they gained force, while the blue soccer ball lost force.
The blue soccer ball because it takes a stronger force to slow something down than to speed something up.
120s - Q14
When an object is pushed in the opposite direction of its travel, the object will do ALL of the following EXCEPT _____.
stop
speed up
slow down
change direction
30s - Q15
Three boats were moving across the surface of a smooth lake. The gray and pink boats have the same mass, and both of these boats are more massive than the orange boat. Each boat was bumped by another boat, but not from the same direction. Use the information in the diagram to answer.
Which boat(s) experienced the strongest force when hit? How do you know?
The gray boat experienced the strongest force because it takes more force to slow an object than it takes to make it go faster.
The pink boat experienced the strongest force because it is as massive as the gray boat and has the highest ending speed.
All three boats experienced the same force because they changed speed by the same amount.
The gray and pink boats experienced the strongest force because they are both more massive than the orange boat, and they all changed speed by the same amount.
120s
