Look at the speed-time graph recorded for a city bus over 40 s. What does the graph show about the bus's motion during that time?

Look at the distance-time graph for a hiker on a straight trail. What was the hiker doing between 20 minutes and 30 minutes?

A student walks 40 m east along a hallway, then turns and walks 15 m west along the same hallway. What is his displacement from where he started?
A delivery van covers 9 km on a straight highway in 15 minutes. What is its average speed in meters per second?
Two workers push a cart in the same direction, one with 30 N and one with 45 N, while friction pushes back on the cart with 15 N. What is the net force?
A crate is already sliding across a warehouse floor. A worker pushes it forward with 120 N while friction pushes back on it with 120 N. What happens to the crate?
A textbook rests on a table. Gravity pulls it down with 8 N and the table pushes up on it with 8 N. What happens to the book?
A tugboat pushes a barge east with 4,000 N while water drag pushes it west with 2,500 N. How does the barge's motion change?

Four forces act on a moving sled: 250 N forward, 100 N backward, 400 N upward from the snow and 400 N downward from gravity. What is the net force on the sled?
A city bus brakes hard and a standing passenger lurches forward toward the windshield. What best explains the lurch?

A hockey puck slides across frictionless ice with no net force acting on it, and it keeps moving at the same speed in the same direction.
A student claims the forces on a falling paper coffee filter are balanced. Which observation would support that claim?
A 3 kg cart on a smooth track feels a net force of 24 N. What is its acceleration?
A loaded 12 kg wagon accelerates at 2.5 m/s² along a level path. What net force acts on the wagon?
A net force of 45 N gives a rolling suitcase an acceleration of 9 m/s². What is the mass of the suitcase?
A robot pushes a bin with a fixed net force. The next bin has three times the mass and gets the same net force. How does its acceleration compare?
Two identical 2 kg carts sit on a track. Cart X gets a net force of 6 N and cart Y gets a net force of 12 N. How does cart Y's acceleration compare with cart X's?
Look at the table of results for three carts, each pushed with the same 10 N net force. What relationship do the data show?

A loaded shopping cart and an empty one are pushed with the same net force. Which one speeds up faster, and why?

A 1,200 kg car and a 2,400 kg van each accelerate at 2 m/s² leaving a stoplight. How does the net force on the van compare with the net force on the car?
A model rocket's engine pushes hot gas downward and out through its nozzle, and the rocket climbs. What pushes the rocket upward?

A 15,000 kg truck runs head-on into a 1,200 kg car. How do the forces the two vehicles exert on each other during the crash compare?
A bowling ball strikes a plastic pin. The pin flies away while the ball's motion barely changes. What best explains the difference?

A student walks forward across a gym floor. Which pair of forces is the action-reaction pair that moves her?
Two students stand facing each other on skateboards on level ground. One student pushes the other on the shoulders. What happens?

Two carts of different masses collide on a track, and each cart carries a force sensor. What will the sensors record at the moment of impact?
A rolling cart hits a stationary cart of equal mass, stops, and the second cart moves off. Why did the first cart stop?

In a collision between a moving object and a still object, only the moving object exerts a force.
A 1,000 kg car speeds up from 10 m/s to 20 m/s on a highway ramp. How does its kinetic energy change?
Two delivery trucks travel at the same 15 m/s. One has a mass of 2,000 kg and the other 4,000 kg. How does the heavier truck's kinetic energy compare?
A 4 kg bowling ball rolls down a lane at 3 m/s. What is its kinetic energy?
