Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 6.47 Net Force, Mass, and Motion (Qualitative) skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

During a rescue drill, an empty sled is pulled by one rescuer and a loaded sled is pulled by two rescuers. Which statement is most scientifically careful?

AThe loaded sled must change motion more because two rescuers are pulling.

BThe empty sled must change motion more because lighter objects always win.

CYou must consider both the total pull and the sled's mass before deciding which changes motion more.

DBoth sleds must change motion equally because both are sleds on snow.

Solution & Explanation:A stronger pull can increase motion change, but extra mass can reduce it, so both factors must be considered together.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A group thinks friction, not mass, caused a slower result when they added weights to a cart. Which follow-up test would best check that idea?

AUse the same cart mass on two surfaces with different roughness while keeping the pull the same.

BAdd even more mass and also change the pull strength.

CSwitch to a different cart and a different starting position in the same trial.

DStop measuring motion and ask students which trial looked slower.

Solution & Explanation:If the group wants to test friction specifically, they should change the surface while keeping mass and pull the same.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Full class data include three cart masses and three pull strengths. For each mass, stronger pulls cause larger motion changes. For each pull strength, larger masses cause smaller motion changes. Which conclusion best fits the whole data set?

AChange in motion depends on both the sum of forces and the mass of the object.

BOnly pull strength matters because it changed in every trial.

COnly mass matters because heavier carts are always harder to move.

DThe trials do not show any relationship that can be used in science.

Solution & Explanation:The full data set supports the core idea of the standard: motion change depends on both net force and mass.
