A wooden block is pulled on two different surfaces: sandpaper then wax paper. The maximum force of static friction between the block and each surface was recorded for three trials in the table shown.
Using the average values of force for sandpaper and wax paper, sketch a bar graph of Static Friction Force vs. Surface. Label the axes, shade in the bars, and write the numerical values for each bar with units.

Newton’s Third Law states that for every action force, there is an equal and opposite reaction force. Which of the following is the best example of this law?
A ball rolling down a hill speeds up.
A rocket launches upward as gases are thrusted downward.
A car slows down due to friction.
An object with greater mass will have more weight than an object with less mass.
Which of the following correctly describes the relationship between mass, force, and change in speed?
Larger masses will always change speed more quickly.
A larger force would cause a greater change in speed than a smaller force would acting on the same mass.
Change in speed is independent from force.
Whether an object slows down or speeds up, the force will always be in the same direction as the motion.

0 N
80 N to the right
20 N to the right
