Cayla likes to play many types of sports. During the course of a week, she goes bowling and plays soccer, baseball, and volleyball. Jane thinks the bowling ball requires the most force to move. Why would it require the most force?

The amount of friction exerted when an object moves across a surface depends on how the object and the surface rub together. For which of these surfaces will friction be greatest when a block of wood slides across it?

Mary Lou is pushing her younger brother, Steve, in his toy car. Steve gets out of the car. Steve's friend, who has more mass than he does, gets into the car. If Mary Lou wants to make the car go the same distance that it did when she pushed Steve, wh

A rock is balanced on the side of a hill. Although the rock is heavy, a gentle push moves it. How can a small force cause a large mass to move?

On two different days, two students measured the force required to hold a pair of scissors using a spring scale. How should the results compare?

Raoul threw a ball into the air and watched it go up. Then it started to fall back toward him. What force caused the ball to start to move downward?

The spring scale shown has a weight attached to it, pulling down. In this arrangement, what is the spring scale being used to measure?

Gravity is a force that pulls objects toward Earth's center. How does the gravitational force on a 1-kg block of wood compare to the gravitational force on a 5-kg block of steel, if both are on the ground?

Rosa tried to pound a large nail into a board using a small hammer. Partway into the board, the nail stopped. Rosa switched to using a heavier hammer, and the nail went into the board easily. Why did the larger hammer work?

When an unbalanced force acts on an object, the motion of the object changes. Sometimes the object continues to move at the same speed. When that happens, what is it that changes?

Why does a truck carrying a heavy load move uphill slower than an empty truck, even though the engine exerts the same force?
