Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 3.14 Compare Strength of Forces from Evidence skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
Which rule is best for comparing two forces from evidence?
ACompare whichever student looks strongest
BCompare only the color of the object after each test
CCompare different objects on different surfaces and trust the longest distance
DCompare what happens to the same object under the same conditions and use evidence like distance, speed, or shape change
Solution & Explanation:Good force comparisons come from fair tests and evidence such as motion changes or shape changes.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
Push A moves the same car 40 cm, 40 cm, and 40 cm and reaches the halfway line in 2 s, 2 s, and 2 s. Push B moves the car 40 cm, 40 cm, and 40 cm and reaches the halfway line in 4 s, 4 s, and 4 s. Which push seems stronger?
APush B seems stronger because it took longer
BThe pushes must be equal because the car traveled the same distance
CPush A seems stronger because it made the car move faster
DThe pushes cannot be compared because time and distance should never be used together
Solution & Explanation:Even though the distance is the same, the same car reached the halfway point faster after Push A, so Push A seems stronger.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
A class compares two pushes, but one test uses a light block and the other uses a heavy block. What should they conclude?
AThe light block test must show the stronger push
BThey need the same kind of block before comparing push strength
CBlock mass never matters when comparing pushes
DThe heavy block test must show the stronger push
Solution & Explanation:Using different masses changes the test, so the comparison is not fair.
