8a. When throwing a baseball, a force is exerted
by the hand on the ball. Is this force a field force or
a contact force?
A.
B.
Field Force
Contact Force
8b. Throwing a ball 6 m straight upwards requires

it toward the storage compartment? Why?
A.
B.
Push it gently.
Kick it.
10. Identify the action reaction pairs
in the following situations:
 Snowball
hits a girl in the back.
 A baseball player catches a ball.
 A man takes a step.
 A gust of wind strikes a window.

12. A passenger sitting in the rear of a bus claims that she
was injured as the driver slammed on the breaks, causing a
suitcase to come flying towards he from the front of the
bus. If you were a judge in this case, how would you rule
and why?
A.
B.
Judge should rule in the lady’s favor
because she is telling the truth.
Judge should rule against the lady
because she is lying.
