3. Which two components must a vector quantity have?

• Magnitude and velocity

• Acceleration and direction

• Force and speed

• Direction and magnitude

4. If the net force on an object is zero, what can you conclude?

• The object is not accelerating

• The object is not touching anything

• The object is not moving

• The object is slowing down

5. Which one of these arrows best corresponds to the force of drag?

• 
• 
• 
• 

6. What can you infer about an object moving at a constant velocity?

• No forces are acting on it

• Gravity is exerting the strongest force on it

• The forces acting on it are in balance

• It is stationary

7. Acceleration occurs when an object is subjected to a(n):

• Force

• Balanced force

• Unbalanced force

• Contact force
