Force and Motion Chapter 2 Quiz

2
Question 1
Alfonso, Julia, and Margie were having fun as they rolled some office chairs across a flat floor. All three chairs have the same mass. Margie gave each of the chairs a push, but not all from the same direction. Each chair changed speed as a result of being pushed. Use the information in the diagram to answer.
3
Multiple Choice
1. Which chair(s) experienced the strongest force when it was pushed? How do you know?
A) The black chair experienced the strongest force because it takes a stronger force to slow something down than it takes to speed something up.
B) The blue chair experienced the strongest force because it had the fastest ending speed.
C) All three chairs experienced the same strength force because they changed speed by the same amount.
D) The pink and blue chairs experienced the strongest forces because they both gained the same force as they sped up. The black chair lost force, so it slowed down.

Question 2
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.
5
Multiple Choice
2. Which boat(s) experienced the strongest force when hit? How do you know?
A) 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.
B) The pink boat experienced the strongest force because it is as massive as the gray boat and has the highest ending speed.
C) All three boats experienced the same force because they changed speed by the same amount.
D) The gray boat experienced the strongest force because it takes more force to slow an object than it takes to make it go faster.

Question 3
Alice and Kai were playing air hockey, which is a game where players hit a puck with paddles so the puck slides across a table. After the game, they were crashing the puck and two different paddles. The puck was the same in both crashes, but the paddles were different: the red paddle had less mass, while the purple paddle had more mass. Use the information in the diagram to answer.
7
Multiple Choice
3. In which crash did the puck experience a stronger force? Why?
A) The puck did not experience a force; only the paddles experienced a force in the crashes.
B) Crash 2; the force on the purple paddle was stronger in this crash, so the force on the puck was also stronger.
C) The diagram doesn’t tell you anything about the force on the puck. It only gives information about the force on the paddles.
D) The puck experienced the same force in both crashes. The paddles changed speed by the same amount in each crash, so the force on the puck was the same each time.

C) The yellow skier; it takes a stronger force to slow down a more massive object than to speed it up.
D) The yellow and purple skiers; they have more mass than the red skier, but changed speed by the same amount.
12
Question 6
Engineers are designing a new car and they need to test their ideas by modeling crashes with different types of trucks. They are using a more massive garbage truck for Crash 1 and a less massive pickup truck for Crash 2. The green test car has the same mass in both crashes. Use information from the diagram to answer
13
Multiple Choice
6. In which crash did the green test car experience a stronger force? How do you know?
A) Crash 1; the force on the garbage truck was stronger in this crash, so the force on the green test car was also stronger.
B) There is no force on the green car. In each crash, only the truck experienced a force.
C) It was the same from both crashes. The trucks changed speed by the same amount in both crashes, so the force on the test car was the same both times.
D) The diagram doesn’t tell you anything about the force on the green test car. It only gives information about the force on the trucks.
14
Question 7
Hockey is a sport in which athletes use hockey sticks to hit a puck across smooth ice. At practice one day, three hockey pucks (all with the same mass) were sliding across the ice. A player hit each puck with a hockey stick, but not from the same direction. Each puck changed speed as a result of being hit. Use the information in the diagram to answer.
15
Multiple Choice
7. Which hockey puck(s) experienced the strongest force when hit? How do you know?
A) The black puck because it takes a stronger force to slow something down than to speed it up.
B) All three hockey pucks experienced the same strength force because they changed speed by the same amount.
C) The green puck experienced the strongest force because it has the fastest ending speed.
D) The green and red pucks; they both gained the same force as they sped up, but the black puck lost force and slowed down.
16
Question 8
Miniature golf is a game in which players hit a golf ball with a club. This causes the ball to roll along the flat ground. There were three golf balls rolling on the ground. The yellow golf ball has less mass than the blue and white balls, which have equal mass. Each ball was hit by a golf club, but not from the same direction. Use the information in the diagram to answer.
17
Multiple Choice
8. Which golf ball(s) experienced the strongest force? How do you know?
A) The blue golf ball; it has more mass and the fastest ending speed.
B) All three golf balls experienced the same force because they changed speed by the same amount.
C) The blue and white golf balls; they have more mass than the yellow golf ball, but changed speed by the same amount.
D) The white golf ball; it takes a stronger force to slow down a more massive object than to speed it up.

13. Joaquin has hockey practice at the same ice rink where Alton has curling practice. One day, they were both playing on the ice with their equipment. They noticed two crashes in particular: In Crash 1, Alton’s curling stone with more mass was moving along and crashed into Joaquin's hockey puck. In Crash 2, Alton's curling stone with less mass was moving along and crashed into Joaquin's hockey puck. It was the same hockey puck with the same mass in both crashes. Joaquin and Alton want to know about the motion of the hockey puck after the crashes. Why would the crash affect the hockey puck, and which crash would cause a greater change in motion for the hockey puck?
