13. 3,2 C. Unbalanced forces cause an object to start moving, stop moving, or change directions. What do unbalanced forces do to an object when they act upon the object? A. Unbalanced forces cause an object to maintain its state of motion B. Unbalanced forces cause the net force of an object to be zero. C. Unbalanced forces cause an object to start moving, stop moving, or change directions. D. Unbalanced forces cause an object to maintain the same speed and same direction.

15. 3,4 A squid moves through the water by ejecting water out of its body into the surrounding water. When the water is pushed out, the ejected water pushes back and thrusts the squid forward. Which of Newton’s laws of motion best applied to a squid’s movement through water? A. First law of motion B. Second law of motion C. Third law of motion D. Fourth law of motion C. Third law of motion

16. 4,1 D. 80N A 40-kilogram student on an inner tube is pulled by a boat. The force from the boat results in the student acceleration at 2 m/s 2. The unit for measuring force is a Newton (N), which is equivalent to 1kgm/s 2. Using Newton’s second law of motion, calculate the net force needed to cause this acceleration. A 0.05N B 20N C 40N D 80N

The toy car’s speed has increased between the two positions C. The toy car has come to a stop at position (3). D. The toy car’s direction of motion has changed.

19. 4,4 C. A child and his sister push on a sofa from opposite sides. They are equally strong, and the sofa does not move in either direction. Which example best demonstrates an application of Newton’s first law of motion? A. A child tries to push a sofa across the floor, but it will not move. His sister comes to help him. Pushing together, the children are able to move the sofa. B. A child pushes two different sofas across the floor. He find that the light sofa is easier to push than the heavy sofa. C. A child and his sister push on a sofa from opposite sides. They are equally strong, and the sofa does not move in either direction. D. A child and his sister push two identical sofas across the floor in a race. His sister is stronger than he, and she wins the race.

20. 5,1 D. Greater than 5.6 pounds. A string is attached to the front of a skateboard. Several bricks are placed on top of the skateboard so that the combined weight of the skateboard and bricks is 5.6 pounds. How much force must be applied to the string in order to move the skateboard forward? A Less than 5.6 pounds. B Equal to 5.6 pounds. C Greater than or equal to 5.6 pounds. D Greater than 5.6 pounds.

21. 5,2 B. The unbalanced force caused the sailboat’s motion to increase from 0m/s to 0.5 m/s A young boy and his father put a toy sailboat on the surface of a pond. The boy is disappointed when the boat does not move. The boy gets down on his knees and blows into the sailboat’s sail. The father observes that the force from his son’s breath moves the sailboat one meter in two seconds. Which of the following statements describes how unbalanced forces changed the sailboats motion?

C The velocity of the Ferris wheel remains constant. D Any object that moves toward the ground must accelerate.

23. 5,4 C. The skaters will move in the opposite direction from each other, but the skater with the lesser mass will move faster. Two skaters are standing on ice facing each other. The mass of one skater is twice the mass of the other skater. One skater pushes against the other skater.
