Three students watch a jet plane roar by over their heads at a constant velocity. Student A says that the force of the jet engines must be the same as the force of air resistance on the plane. Student B says that the force of the jet engines has to be larger than the force of air resistance because the plane is moving forward. Student C says that the plane must have turned off its jet engines for a moment because it is moving at a constant velocity.
Using a Claim, Evidence, Reasoning argument, determine which student is correct.

Using the graph to the left, how much force was applied to the masses in this lab?
A bottle rocket that has a mass of 0.2 kg is partially filled with 0.2 kg of water and then launched. During the launch, the bottle pushes the water down while the water pushes the bottle up. Which of the following is true?
The water pushes the bottle with more force because the bottle moves faster.
The bottle pushes the water with more force because of the air pressure inside.
The bottle and the water push each other with equal forces.
The bottle pushes the water with more force because it is moving upward.
A bottle rocket that has a mass of 0.2 kg is partially filled with 0.8 kg of water and then launched. During the launch, the bottle pushes the water down while the water pushes the bottle up. Which of the following is true?
The water pushes with more force because it has more mass.
The water pushes the bottle with more force because the bottle moves faster.
The bottle and the water push each other with equal forces.
The bottle pushes the water with more force because it is moving upward.
You kick a soccer ball. It rolls down the field, slower and slower, then stops. Why did it stop?
Your kick was weak.
The normal force makes it stop.
The force of friction acts against motion.
The battery ran out.
