Physics AQA Forces Quiz

A spring stretches because of the weight. What is the weight of an object?

• The weight of an object is the measure of the force of gravity acting on it.

• The weight of an object is the measure of the force of friction acting on it.

• The weight of an object is the measure of the force of magnetism acting on it.

• The weight of an object is the measure of the force of buoyancy acting on it.

What is the relationship between force and stretching in a spring?

• Force and stretching in a spring are inversely proportional.

• Stretching in a spring is caused by gravity.

• Force has no effect on stretching in a spring.

• Force and stretching in a spring are directly proportional according to Hooke's Law.

A force can be described as ________
