"Then let us try and see," said the carabao.
So they went out on the bank and started to run.
After the carabao had gone a long distance he stopped and called,

And another shell lying by the river answered, "Here I am!"

The carabao was surprised that the shell could keep up with him.
But he ran on and on, and every time he stopped to call, another

Malioboro shopping center.
We spent 3 hours in each place. We drove back to Semarang at 7
o'clock and arrived home at ten. We were tired but happy.

For items 9-12. Read the text entitled “What is a force?” and answer the following
questions.

What is a force?

How can we make something move? We can push, pull, spin,

bounce, throw, kick, and drop it. Can we make something move
without doing these acts? No! These acts are all forces. A force
needs to act on a thing that is not moving to make it move. A force
is a push or a pull. Everything is acted on by forces all the time,
even if you can’t see it moving. If you have a book in your hand, the
force of the book pushes down on your hand. To hold the book up,
your hand pushes up on the book. If you put the book down on the
ground, the book pushes down while the ground pushes up. So, we
can now say that a force is a push or pull on a thing when another
thing acts on it.
Adapted from Neal, Teacher. (2019). Elementary earth and space science methods. Iowa
Pressbooks, pp. 73-74.

someone.

B. Sleeping
C. Standing
D. Walking

A. Forces act all times.
B. Forces only act upon reaction
C. Forces only act upon interaction.
D. Forces only act when the needs arise.
