    Down. Downward pull creates downward motion.

21. What is the direction of motion when you pull an object straight toward you?

    The object moves toward you. Pull direction brings objects in that direction.

22. Identify the direction an object will start moving if it is at rest and you pull it backward.

    Backward. Objects at rest move in the direction of the applied force.

23. What is the direction of motion when you pull an object straight toward you?

    It moves toward you. Pulling creates motion in the direction of the pull.

24. Which option describes what happens if you push a toy car forward, then push it backward?

    It slows down, may stop, then can move backward. Reversing force direction reverses the motion direction.

25. Which option is correct: If you push an object in the opposite direction, its motion reverses (yes or no)?

    Yes. Opposite forces create opposite motion.

26. Identify the direction: you pull a wagon toward you; which way does it move?

    Toward you. Pulling brings objects closer to the force source.

27. What is the motion result when you push a swing forward while it is moving forward?

    It swings higher forward. Same-direction force increases swing amplitude.

28. Identify the correct statement: Changing the direction of a force changes the object's ________.

    direction of motion. Forces control both speed and direction of objects.

29. What is the direction of motion when you push an object straight forward?

    It moves forward. Objects move in the same direction as the force applied.

30. What is the direction of motion of an object when you push it straight forward?

    It moves forward. Objects move in the same direction as the force applied.

31. Which direction will a book slide if the only pull on it is straight toward you?

    Toward you. Objects move in pull direction.

32. Identify the direction of motion: A toy car is pushed toward you across the floor.

    It moves toward you. Push direction matches motion direction.

33. Which word best completes the rule: An object moves in the same direction as the ________.

    push or pull. Forces (pushes and pulls) determine motion direction.

34. Which option best describes motion when you push a swing forward from behind?

    It moves forward, away from you. Pushing forward creates forward motion.

35. Which option describes what happens if you change a push from forward to right?

    The object changes direction and moves to the right. Changing force direction changes the object's path.

36. What happens if you push a rolling ball gently in the opposite direction of its roll?

    It slows down and may reverse direction. Gentle opposing force gradually reduces forward motion.

37. Identify the direction: You pull a drawer straight out toward you. Which way does it move?

    Outward toward you. Pulling outward creates outward motion.

38. Which option best describes a pull on a rope straight upward on a light object?

    It makes the object move upward. Upward pull creates upward motion.

39. Identify the direction an object moves when the pull is to the right.

    Right. Objects follow the direction of the applied force.

40. Identify the result: You pull a cart to the left, then you pull it forward.

    It changes from moving left to moving forward. New pull creates new motion direction.

41. Identify the result: You push a ball forward, then you push it backward.

    It changes from moving forward to moving backward. Opposite pushes create opposite motions.

42. Choose the correct result: You pull a toy left, then pull it right. How does it move?

    It changes direction and moves right. The last force applied determines final direction.

43. Which direction will a ball roll if you push it to the right on a flat floor?

    To the right. Objects move in the direction they're pushed.

44. Identify the direction change: You pull a toy truck backward after it was moving forward.

    The truck changes to moving backward. Pulling backward reverses forward motion.

45. Choose the word that correctly describes motion after a push to the left: left, right, or still.

    Left. The object moves where the push directs it.

46. Identify the direction: you push a door away from you; which way does the door move?

    Away from you. Pushing moves objects in the force direction.

47. What is the direction of motion when you push an object straight forward?

    The object moves forward. Push direction determines where the object goes.

48. Which option best completes the rule: An object moves in the same direction as the ____?

    Push or pull (force). Forces determine the direction of motion.

49. Which option shows a direction change caused by a new pull: left, then pull right?

    The object changes to moving right. New pull overrides old motion direction.

50. Which option shows a direction change: push forward, then push backward?

    The object reverses direction. Opposite forces create opposite motion.

51. Which direction will a wagon move if you pull the handle toward you?

    Toward you. The wagon follows the direction you pull it.

52. Which direction will a toy car move if you push it away from you?

    Away from you. Pushing away creates motion in that direction.

53. What is the direction of motion of an object when you pull it straight backward?

    It moves backward. Pulling creates motion in the direction of the pull.
