Multiple Choice
A worker pushes a large box across the smooth floor of a warehouse. Four forces, labeled A through D, are shown in the diagram.
Which correctly identifies the forces shown?
Force A: Applied; Force B: Friction; Force C: Gravity; Force D: Normal
Force A: Friction; Force B: Gravity; Force C: Normal; Force D: Applied
Force A: Applied; Force B: Normal; Force C: Gravity; Force D: Normal
Force A: Normal; Force B: Friction; Force C: Applied; Force D: Gravity
3
Multiple Select
Choose the answers that describe the changes to the scenario that would affect Forces B and C. Select 3 that apply
Objects are added to the box to make it much heavier
The worker is replaced with someone stronger.
The worker pushes the box over an uneven or rough floor
Objects are removed from the box to make it much lighter
4
Multiple Choice
Magnetism is a force that can be either a push or pull. Magnetic force is exerted when a magnet interacts with or with another magnet. In the diagram, two bar magnets are placed near each other with the north pole of one facing the south pole of the other. Since the magnets are placed with their north and south ends near each other, the magnetic force between them will be_______________________.
Which terms best complete the paragraph?
noncontact; any object; repulsive
noncontact; metal; attractive
contact; any object; attractive
contact; metal; repulsive
5
Multiple Select
Choose the 3 change(s) that can affect the strength or direction of the magnetic force between the magnets in the diagram. Select 3 correct answers.
Orientation of magnets
Strength of magnets
Distance between magnets
Mass of the magnets
6
Multiple Select
Identify the true statement(s) about the force that occurs between our planet and the moon that keeps the moon in orbit. Select 2 that apply.
Gravity is an attractive-only force that pulls objects towards other objects.
Magnetism between Earth and the moon is possible due to the composition of metals within Earth’s core.
Friction is a contact or non-contact force that increases in strength as distance decreases.
The greater the mass of an object, the greater the force of its gravity on other objects.
7
Multiple Choice
According to NASA, our moon moves approximately one inch away from Earth each year. If this pattern continues, how could the increased distance affect the strength of the force between Earth and the moon?
As distance increases, the strength of the force would increase.
As distance increases, the strength of the force would weaken
The strength of the force would increase and decrease due to other factors.
The strength of the force would not change, because it is not dependent on distance
8
Multiple Choice
As swimmers propel themselves through water, there are a variety of forces at work.
Which forces are acting on the swimmer in the diagram at A and B? Select all that apply.
Force A is the frictional force known as water resistance that pulls the swimmer backward.
Force A is the applied force the swimmer uses to propel themselves through the water
Force B is the normal force that is equal to and cancels out the force of gravity pulling the swimmer.
Force B is the gravitational force pulling the swimmer towards the Earth’s surface

Multiple Choice
A student in gym class wants to climb the rope attached to the ceiling. They pull with a force of 80 N but do not move off the ground.
What is the net force exerted on the student?
0 N
40 N
80 N
160 N
10
Multiple Choice
A student in gym class wants to climb the rope attached to the ceiling. They pull with a force of 80 N but do not move off the ground
Determine whether the forces acting on the student and rope are balanced or unbalanced
The forces are unbalanced because the net forces equal zero
The forces are balanced because the net forces do not equal zero.
The forces are balanced because the net forces equal zero.
The forces are unbalanced because the net forces do not equal zero.
