Forces and Laws of Motion

Match it! Select the correct answer from the pull down...Good luck!

A large crate is placed on the flatbed of a truck but is not tied down. As the truck accelerates forward, the crate slides across the bed until it falls out . Why?

A shark goes from rest to a constant speed through the water in the presence of water resistance effects. According to Newton’s first law of motion there is a(n) _____________ force being applied for the shark to move.

Which law? A large crate is placed on the flatbed of a truck but is not tied down. As the truck accelerates forward, the crate slides across the bed until it falls out .

Sarah and Teyonce face each other holding separate force scales. The scales are hooked together and slowly they both begin pulling on them. If the forces are equal and opposite, which law are they demonstrating?

A mammoth is moving east at a constant speed of 4.44 m/s in the presence of friction effects. What is the net force on the mammoth?

Which is the action/reaction law?

Sarah and Teyonce face each other holding separate force scales. The scales are hooked together and slowly they both begin pulling on them. Compare the scale readings:

A bowling ball is moving forward at a constant speed. If gravity has a force of 10 N and the floor pushes back with 10 N, what is the net force?
