    4) According to Newton's second law of motion, a larger force acting on an object causes a
    greater of that object.

    Correct Answer
    acceleration

    5) When two forces act in the same direction on an object, the net force is found by
    the forces.

    Correct Answer
    adding

    6) Acceleration depends on which two factors?

    A) mass and position


    B) net force and mass
    C) mass and velocity
    D) position and net force

    Correct Answer
    B) net force and mass

    Alex is helping with 20 N to the left. What is the net force on the scooter?

    A) 95 N, to the right
    B) 95 N, to the left
    C) 55 N, to the right
    D) 55 N, to the left

    Correct Answer
    B) 95 N, to the left

    9) Caleb is investigating the effect of friction on the motion of an object. He uses the
    following supplies for the investigation:

    a wooden block
    three ramps, each ramp is the same height and length but has a different surface
    (smooth wood, carpet, rough sandpaper)
    a stopwatch

    Caleb tests his hypothesis that the smooth wood ramp surface causes less friction than the
    carpet and that the carpet causes less friction than the rough sandpaper.

    a. Describe a procedure using these supplies that Caleb may follow to test his hypothesis.

    b. Explain the most likely reason Caleb uses the same wooden block for each test.

    Answer Key with Questions
    Lesson Check: Force and Acceleration

    Correct Answer

    Explanation

    a. Procedure:

    1. Place the wooden block at the top of one of the ramps.


    2. Release the block and start the stopwatch at the same time.
    3. Stop the stopwatch when the block reaches the bottom of the ramp.
    4. Record the time needed for the block to slide down the ramp.
    5. Repeat three times, measuring and recording the time needed for the block to
    slide down the ramp each time.
    6. Find the average time needed for the block to slide down the ramp.
    7. Follow the same steps using the other two ramps.

    b. Because his hypothesis was about different amounts of force acting on the object, not
    the mass of the object, Caleb kept the mass of the object constant.
    c. The independent variable is the type of surface of the ramp. The dependent variable is
    the time needed for the block to slide down the ramp.

    10) Two students are investigating the effect of forces on the motion of an object. The two
    students each push on a box, as shown in the picture.

    Even though the students are pushing the box very hard, the box does not move.

    Describe one way the students could make the box move. Explain why this would move
    the box.

    Answer Key with Questions
    Lesson Check: Force and Acceleration

    Correct Answer

    Explanation

    One student could push on the box with less force than the other student. This way the
    forces are not balanced and the box will likely move in the direction of the push that has
    more force.
    OR
    Another student could help push the box from either side. This way the forces are not
    balanced and the box will likely move in the direction of the push that has more force.
    OR
    Both students could push the box from the same side. This way the forces are not balanced
    and the box will likely move in the direction of the push.
