- Q1A leaf fell from a tree branch. The path it followed is shown in the diagram. Which of these best describes why the leaf fell in a crooked path instead of straight down?Objects with irregular shapes never fall in straight lines.Air currents and gravity applied changing and unbalanced forces to the leaf.The upward force of the air on the leaf was greater than the downward force of gravity.Once the leaf was in motion, it continued moving in the same direction because the forces were balanced.30s8.6a
- Q2The diagram shows a homemade car being pushed with a force of 25 N. The force causes the car to move at a constant speed of 3 m/s. What will happen if the force is changed to 35 N?The car will move at a constant speed of 13 m/s.The speed of the car will increase.The speed of the car will decrease to 1 m/s.The speed of the car will not change.30s8.6a
- Q3Two students are working together to build a birdhouse. Student 1 applies a force of 10 N to a wooden board in order to slide it across the table to Student 2. If the force of friction resisting the student’s push is 4 N, what is the net force acting on the board?10 N4N6N14 N30s8.6a
- Q4The three vehicles shown are all traveling at a speed of 15 m/s, but only the pickup truck has a changing velocity. The pickup truck has a changing velocity because the pickup truck —needs a large amount of force to moveis traveling on a curve in the roadcan accelerate faster than the other two vehiclesis traveling in the opposite direction from the other two vehicles30s8.6b
- Q5Which of the following best describes the velocity of an object?30 m/s30 m east30 m/s east30s8.6b
