A battery-powered toy submarine is moving through water at a
constant speed and at a constant depth below the surface. The diagram shows the submarine with arrows representing the directions but not the magnitudes of four forces acting on it.

A basket of apples is pulled along a table. A friction force acts in a direction opposite to the motion of the basket.

Choose EACH of the 2 actions below that will Increase the force of friction between the basket and the table.

1

The motion graphs to the left show the motion of four objects over the same period of time. The lines on the graphs show objects that are speeding up, slowing down, and traveling at a constant speed.
After looking at the four graphs, choose the 2 graphs that are representing objects that are experiencing a net force of 0 Newtons.

Draggable itemCorresponding Item
Sliding Friction
The type of friction that exists between a parachute and the air.
Opposite
The type of friction that occurs when a bicycle is ridden along a sidewalk.
Static Friction
The type of friction that occurs between objects that are not moving.
Fluid Friction
The type of friction that occurs when you rub sandpaper against a piece of wood to smooth it.
Friction
A force that acts between surfaces that are touching.
Rolling Friction
The direction that friction ALWAYS acts relative to the direction of motion.

An object moves at a constant speed.
  • What will happen to this object’s motion over time if no new forces are applied?

A block is sent sliding along a ramp. The green arrow represents the motion and direction of the block. Sliding friction is taking place between the block and the ramp.

What direction would the sliding friction be acting on the block as it slides along the ramp?

Choose the description from below that best describes the forces at work and the motion that would result in the diagram pictured to the left.

1

When four forces are applied to a box, the box begins to move. the diagram’s arrows show the direction and the magnitude of the four forces acting on the box.


In which direction will the box move?
