A brick is resting on a level smooth surface. When a student applies a horizontal force of 5 N to the brick, the force of friction on the brick is also 5 N. Which statement BEST describes the effect of these two forces on the brick?
The net force on the brick is 0 N, and the brick begins to move.
The net force on the brick is 0 N, and the brick remains at rest.
The net force on the brick is 10 N, and the brick begins to move.
The net force on the brick is 0 N, and the brick remains at rest.

The car weighs more on the carpet.
The car weighs more on the floor.
The car has more resistance.
The car weighs less on the wood floor.
- 5. Multiple Choice
In a lab investigation, a student notes that two metal blocks have the same mass. Based on this observation, if the two blocks were put on opposite sides of a balance, they would BEST represent
balanced forces
unbalanced forces
equal and opposite reactions
objects in motion
- 6. Multiple Choice

absorb the forces
come to an immediate stop
move in the direction of the larger force
change direction
- 7. Multiple Choice

friction
gravity
inertia
magnetic
- 8. Multiple Choice
A 20 N object is placed on a surface and starts to slide. What is the MOST likely reason the object begins to move.
Gravity exerts a balanced force on the object
An unbalanced force causes acceleration
Friction is applied to the object
The force acting on the object is in equilibrium
- 9. Multiple Choice

- 11. Multiple Choice
Which statement BEST compares a parked car to a car moving along a straight line at a constant speed.
There are no forces acting on either car
Only the moving car is being subjected to forces
Both cars are being subjected to balanced forces
Only the parked car is subjected to balanced forces
- 12. Multiple Choice
Newton's first law of motion states:
An object in motion will remain in motion and an object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an outside force.
Acceleration is produced when a force acts on an outside mass.
The greater the mass of the object, the greater the force needed to accelerate
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
- 13. Multiple Choice
Newton's second law of motion states:
An object in motion will remain in motion and an object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an outside force.
Acceleration is produced when gravity acts upon it.
The greater the mass of the object, the greater the force needed to accelerate
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
- 14. Multiple Choice
Newton's third law of motion states:
An object in motion will remain in motion and an object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an outside force.
Acceleration is produced when gravity acts upon it.
The greater the mass of the object, the greater the force needed to accelerate
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
