  1. 1.

    What is friction?

    • Aa force that only acts in space
    • Ba force that opposes motion when surfaces rub
    • Ca force that pulls objects toward Earth
    • Dthe energy stored in a battery
  2. 2.

    Is this a push or a pull: tug a brick?

    • Aa pull
    • Ba push
    • Cboth a push and gravity only
    • Dneither — it is not a force

    • Amove toward the heavier team only
    • Bmove toward both teams at once
    • Cstop feeling any force
    • Dnot move
  4. 4.

    What does friction usually do to a moving object?

    • Amakes the object lighter
    • Bspeeds it up
    • Cslows it down
    • Dhas no effect on motion
  5. 5.

    Why is walking harder on ice than on dry pavement?

    • Athere is less friction on ice
    • Bgravity is stronger on ice
    • Cthere is more friction on ice
    • Dice removes the force of gravity
  6. 6.

    What is an unbalanced force?

    • Aa force that never changes speed
    • Bforces that cancel each other
    • Ca net force that changes an object's motion
    • Dthe colour of a moving object
