Forces and Motion Exploration
📚 Part 1: Multiple Choice — Basic Concepts
1. Which force directly causes an object to change its motion when you push it?
Gravity
Friction
Applied force (your push)
Normal force
2. A rolling toy car slows down and stops on a floor because of:
Inertia
Friction
Magnetism
Gravity pulling it backward
3. Which best describes inertia?
A force that pushes objects forward
The resistance of an object to change its motion
Energy stored in a moving object
The pull of Earth on all objects
4. If you apply a stronger push to a small cart on a low-friction surface, the cart's acceleration will:
Decrease
Increase
Stay the same
Change into potential energy
5. The energy stored in a stretched rubber band is called:
Kinetic energy
Thermal energy
Elastic potential energy
Chemical energy
🔬 Part 2: Apply to Experiments — Pushes, Pulls, and Designs
6. In a ramp experiment a marble rolls faster down a steeper ramp because:
It has more mass at the bottom
More potential energy converts to kinetic energy
Friction increases with steepness
Gravity stops acting on it
7. When building a small bridge model, why are triangular supports commonly used?
They absorb water and reduce weight
Triangles distribute forces and add stability
They are the cheapest shape to make
Triangles increase friction
8. You test how different surfaces affect how far a box moves after the same push. The independent variable in this experiment is:
The size of the push
The surface type (carpet, tile, wood)
The mass of the box
The time of day
9. Which is a safe practice when testing pushes, pulls, and small structures in class?
Taste materials to identify them
Wear loose clothing near moving parts
Clear the work area and keep fingers away from moving parts
Run to move heavy models quickly
