You want to move two boxes. Which sentence correctly describes the force needed to move the boxes?
More force is needed to move the lighter box.
More force is needed to move the heavy box.
More force is needed to move the heavy box.
400
Which object would require the most force to move?

A soccer ball is at rest on the ground. When a force is applied to it, it moves. If larger force is applied to it, how will the motion of the soccer ball change?
A. The ball will move less distance with less speed.
B. The ball will move farther with less speed.

There is frost on my car windshield, so it must have gotten below 32 °F last night.
Is this an example of an observation, an inference or a prediction?
Prediction (because it has both an observation - frost, and an inference - got below 32°F)
500
Is gravity a contact or non-contact force?
non-contact. You don't have to be touching the surface of the Earth in order to get pulled towards it.
