Motion Terminology Quiz

What is the definition of Electromagnetic Force?

• A measure of how quickly something changes its speed or direction

• Interactions (pushes and pulls) of electrically charged particles with other charged particles and magnetic poles

Which of the following is an example of Acceleration?

• Like charges repel, opposite charges attract

• Slowing down, turning a corner

What is the definition of Force?

• An interaction (push or pull) of one object with another that resists other forces or causes acceleration

• The amount of matter in an object, measured in kg in the SI system of units

What does Gravity do?

• It measures how quickly something changes its speed or direction

• It pulls all masses towards each other, with or without touching

What is Newton's Third Law?

• The law that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction

• The force of attraction of all masses toward each other due to gravitational pull

What is Mass?

• The amount of matter in an object, measured in kg in the SI system of units

• The vector sum of all forces acting on an object

What is the definition of Gravitational Force?

• The force of attraction of all masses toward each other due to gravitational pull

• The law that objects resist changes in their state of motion

What is Net Force?

• The vector sum of all forces acting on an object

• A force that holds protons and neutrons together in the nucleus

What is Strong Nuclear Force?

• A force that holds protons and neutrons together in the nucleus

• The amount of matter in an object, measured in kg in the SI system of units

What is Newton's Second Law?

• The law that greater masses require a greater force to achieve the same acceleration

• The law that objects resist changes in their state of motion
