Introduction to Forces — Quiz

Question 6 • Physical Science

Which is the best example of forces acting in the same direction?

Answer
A
a person pulling out a garden hose from its reel
B
two football players pushing a tackling sled
C
two dogs playing tug-of-war with a rope
D
a boy lifting his chest off the ground during a pushup

Explanation

Forces act in the same direction when two pushes or pulls point the same way. Two football players pushing a tackling sled together can both push it forward, so their forces combine in the same direction. In tug-of-war, the dogs pull in opposite directions, and the other choices describe one person or animal exerting the main force.
