Force and Motion Quiz

What is a force?

• The force a planet uses to draw objects towards its center

• The change in an object's position over time

• A pull or push on an object that can cause it to move

• The force that acts in the opposite direction of the motion of an object

What is motion?

• The force a planet uses to draw objects towards its center

• The change in an object's position over time

• A pull or push on an object that can cause it to move

• The force that acts in the opposite direction of the motion of an object

What is an applied force?

• The force a planet uses to draw objects towards its center

• A force applied to an object by a person or a different object

• The change in an object's position over time

• The force that acts in the opposite direction of the motion of an object

What is gravity?

• A force that acts in the opposite direction of the motion of an object

• The force a planet uses to draw objects towards its center

• The change in an object's position over time

• A pull or push on an object that can cause it to move

What is friction?

• A force that acts in the opposite direction of the motion of an object

• The change in an object's position over time

• The force a planet uses to draw objects towards its center

• A pull or push on an object that can cause it to move

What is Newton's First Law of motion?

• The greater the mass of the object, the greater the amount of force needed to accelerate the object

• An object at rest stays at rest unless another force acts upon it to make it move

• Acceleration occurs when a force acts upon a mass

• For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction

What is Newton's Second Law of motion?

• For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction

• Acceleration occurs when a force acts upon a mass

• The greater the mass of the object, the greater the amount of force needed to accelerate the object

• An object at rest stays at rest unless another force acts upon it to make it move

What is Newton's Third Law of motion?

• Acceleration occurs when a force acts upon a mass

• The greater the mass of the object, the greater the amount of force needed to accelerate the object

• For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction

• An object at rest stays at rest unless another force acts upon it to make it move

What force is responsible for stopping a moving car?

• Gravity

• Friction

• Acceleration

• Applied Force

What would be needed to increase the acceleration of a shopping cart?

• Applying less force to the shopping cart

• Removing the wheels on the shopping cart

• Applying more force to the shopping cart

• Adding more groceries to the shopping cart
