Force & Motion Escape Room

Do you know enough about forces & motions in the physical world to escape?

start

Let's begin...

Forces have you trapped!

You has been trapped. Use your knowledge of forces and your knowledge of motions in the physical world to escape. Answer questions correctly to master the tests and gather clues to plan your escape. Keep trying. It's up to you. Let's get started.

Tests

Complete each test to escape. There is no other way out! Good Luck!

Good Luck! Here's your first question: What is velocity?

a measure of both the speed and direction of a moving object

a measure of how fast something moves between two points

a force that considers the rate at which acceleration changes

Way to go! Next question:Which describes friction?

a force that works against gravity

a force that opposes motion between two surfaces that are touching

a unit that is a measure of speed

You're almost there.The speed of which of the following objects is affected by gravity?

an airplane flying through the air

a sailboat gliding across the water

a rock falling off a high cliff

a marble rolling along the ground

Look at the computer monitor. Astronauts design an experiment to test the effect of force on an object. They know that one of the forces we experience on Earth is less on the moon. Which force are the astronauts testing?

acceleration

gravity

velocity

Look at the screen.A bus driving on the road during the winter drives onto an icy spot and starts to slide.A decrease in which of the following forces causes the bus to slide?

friction

acceleration

thrust

Test 2

Mrs. Newton’s class designed an experiment to test the effect of force on an object. Four students rolled a tennis ball across floors with different surfaces. Three used smooth surfaces. One student used a rough surface. They measured how far the balls rolled. The table below shows the data they collected. Which student rolled a tennis ball across a rough surface?

A car traveling down a road approaches a red light. The driver pushes the car’s brakes and the car slows to a stop. What causes the car’s speed to change?

an increase in friction

an increase in velocity

a decrease in friction

Look at the computer screen.

Lukas designed an experiment to investigate forces and motion. The table shows the distances and times a ball rolled during his investigation. For each trial, the ball started from rest and a force caused it to move. During which trial did the greatest force cause the ball to move?

You are about to get it:Bodhi designed an experiment to study motion. He used the measured data he collected about the distance a toy car traveled over time to make this graph. What did Bodhi do to the car between points W and X?

He made it accelerate.

He slowed it down.

He put it on a steep incline.

He stopped it from moving.

You've made it to Test 4!Carla designed an experiment to test velocity. She made the table in her notebook to analyze her data. What important information is missing from Carla’s data table?

the total distance the object traveled

Velocity Experiment

the direction the object traveled

the total time taken to travel the distance

the time taken to complete the experiment

Test 4

Luis is using toy cars to investigate speed. He is changing the length and shape of the track to see the effects on speed. What change could he make to the investigation to make a car go faster?

make the beginning of the track higher than the end

make the end of the track higher than the beginning

make the track as rough as possible

make the car as heavy as possible

Test 4

Keesha designs an experiment to test the effect of force on the motion of a ball. She uses a rubber band wrapped around the legs of a chair to launch the ball. She discovers that the farther she pulls back with the rubber band, the faster the ball travels. Which conclusion should she draw?

Increasing the friction on a moving object will increase its speed.

Increasing the distance an object travels will increase its speed.

Increasing the force applied to a moving object will increase its speed.

Increasing the weight of a moving object will increase its speed.

Last Test: Denelle pulled gently on a spring scale. The scale showed a force, but the block did not move. Why not?

The string between the spring and the block was not strong enough.

The force that she applied was balanced by another force.

The spring scale was broken, so there was no force when she pulled on it.

There was not enough friction for the block to move.

Well done!Suri tapes batteries to three identical toy cars to give them different masses. Then, Suri measures how far each car rolls when she launches it from the same starting point using the same stretched rubber band. The three toy cars are pictured in the following illustration. How will the force of the rubber band affect the cars?

Car 1 will travel the shortest distance.

Car 3 will travel the longest distance.

Car 3 will be the least affected by the force acting upon it.

Car 1 will be the least affected by the force acting upon it.

Test 6

Surely you know the answer to this question:Two race cars with the same mass started moving on a race track at the same time. One car reached the finish line of the track in 15 sec, and the other reached the finish line in 20 sec. Why did the cars take different amounts of time to reach the finish line?

The force of gravity slowed one car, but not the other car.

The engine of the faster car exerted more force than the engine of the other car.

The forces on one car were balanced and on the other car unbalanced.

This is it!Is this supposed to be an image of Sir Isaac Newton?

Yes

No

Completed

Congratulations, you have escaped!

Start over?

Oh oh!

That answer is not correct...

But don't lose your balance, continue on your way and try again!
