Which force is involved in sliding a book on rough carpet?
- gravity
- push
- friction
- pull
What motion change can happen from pushing a cart?
- the book slows down
- the cart moves away
- the rope moves toward the puller
- the ball falls toward Earth
Which change could increase the effect of kicking a soccer ball?
- a softer kick
- a harder kick
- the same kick each trial
- changing only the ball pattern
Which evidence would help compare forces during dropping a ball?
- only the object's color
- only the name of the object
- how far or how fast the object moves
- only who touched it first
Why does pushing a cart belong in a forces-and-motion worksheet?
- it names an object but no force
- it compares materials without motion
- it describes a force changing motion
- it gives a motion result without evidence
