Here are the correct responses for each of the questions:
Question 1:
A) A line of dominos is knocked down. Which explanation is true?
Response: An increase in force caused an increase in acceleration.
Question 2:
A) When raindrops form, the force of gravity pulls them toward the ground. Which statement is correct about this chain of events?
Response: The force of gravity causes the raindrops to accelerate.
Question 3:
A) A student observes that for the same net force, heavier objects accelerate less. Which statement describes a correct conclusion?
Response: There is a negative correlation between mass and acceleration.
Question 4:
A) A nonzero net force acts on a moving ball, and the ball comes to a stop. Which statement is correct about the relationship between the net force and the ball's movement?
Response: The net force causes a decrease in acceleration because without the force the ball's velocity would remain the same.
Question 5:
A) A student places five books next to each other on their ends. She then pushes the first book with her finger, and a few seconds later, the last book falls. Which statement is correct about this chain of events?
Response: The force of the finger causes the books to accelerate and fall.
These responses align with the principles of physics, particularly Newton's laws of motion.
