Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 5.19 Describe Speed and Motion Qualitatively skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Situation: A heavy backpack is harder to start moving than an empty backpack. Which statement avoids a motion misconception?

AA force can change only color, not motion.

BFriction always makes moving objects speed up.

CObjects can change speed without any force or interaction.

DMore mass can make an object harder to speed up with the same force.

Solution & Explanation:Forces are pushes or pulls that can change an object's speed or direction. Friction and air resistance usually oppose motion, while balanced forces do not change motion.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Situation: A rolling ball is tapped from the side. Which statement avoids a motion misconception?

AA force can change only color, not motion.

BFriction always makes moving objects speed up.

CThe sideways force changes the ball's direction.

DObjects can change speed without any force or interaction.

Solution & Explanation:Forces are pushes or pulls that can change an object's speed or direction. Friction and air resistance usually oppose motion, while balanced forces do not change motion.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Situation: A ball at rest stays still until pushed. Which statement avoids a motion misconception?

AA force can change only color, not motion.

BAn object at rest needs an unbalanced force to start moving.

CFriction always makes moving objects speed up.

DObjects can change speed without any force or interaction.

Solution & Explanation:Forces are pushes or pulls that can change an object's speed or direction. Friction and air resistance usually oppose motion, while balanced forces do not change motion.
