SCIENCE: Understanding Force + Motion + Gravity
THIS IS A QUIZ - IT IS NOT A TEST

It is to help you find correct answers - not to mark you down for incorrect answers!

Please think before answering each question, then skip any you don't understand.

On completing the quiz,  you will receive an email (If you have supplied a
valid email address), which will include information to help you (or your
group), to find the correct solution to each incorrect or missing answer.

When you have completed the quiz, please return to the wiki at:

Q16. A group of students set up three separate tests for a remote-controlled toy car. For each test, the car has to travel over the same distance on three different surfaces: BITUMEN, ICE & WET GRASS. The car approaches each test surface at a fixed, steady speed. When the car reaches the start of the test surface, the students push the remote control speed lever to maximum, making the car drive wheels spin very fast.
