  1. 1.

    Two teams pull a rope. The rope moves steadily toward Team A. What does that show?

    • AGravity is pulling the rope sideways.
    • BTeam A's pull is greater, so the forces are unbalanced.
    • CThe forces are balanced and cancel.
    • DTeam B is using no force at all.
  2. 2.

    Is this a push or a pull: press a sled?

    • Aa push
    • Bboth a push and gravity only
    • Ca pull
    • Dneither — it is not a force
  3. 3.

    Why does a parachute slow a skydiver's fall?

    • AAir resistance pushes up against the parachute.
    • BFriction from the ground pulls the skydiver up.
    • CThe parachute removes gravity.
    • DThe skydiver loses mass in the air.
  4. 4.

    What does friction usually do to a moving object?

    • Aslows it down
    • Bspeeds it up
    • Chas no effect on motion
    • Dmakes the object lighter
  5. 5.

    A stretched rubber band and a moving bicycle wheel both store or carry energy. Which pairing is best?

    • AThe rubber band has kinetic energy; the wheel has potential energy.
    • BBoth have only chemical energy.
    • CNeither form is a kind of energy.
    • DThe rubber band has potential energy; the wheel has kinetic energy.
  6. 6.

    Why is walking harder on ice than on dry pavement?

    • Athere is less friction on ice
    • Bthere is more friction on ice
    • Cgravity is stronger on ice
    • Dice removes the force of gravity
