Force and Motion Quiz 2nd Grade

How does friction affect the speed of a sliding object?

• Friction increases the speed of the sliding object.

• Friction has no effect on the speed of the sliding object.

• Friction decreases the speed of the sliding object.

• Friction only affects the direction of the sliding object.

What is the difference between a push and a pull?

• A push brings an object closer, while a pull moves it away.

• A push moves an object away, while a pull brings it closer.

• A push and a pull are the same action.

• A push is a force applied to stop an object, while a pull is a force applied to start an object.

What happens when opposite poles of a magnet are brought together?

• They repel each other.

• They attract each other.

• They create a magnetic field.

• They lose their magnetism.

What is motion?

• A change in position of an object.

• A change in speed of an object.

• The force applied to an object.

• The distance traveled by an object.

What force pulls objects toward each other?

• Magnetism

• Friction

• Gravity

• Electromagnetism

What is an example of a non-contact force?

• Magnetic force.

• Frictional force.

• Tension force.

• Normal force.

What is the relationship between force and motion?

• A force causes an object to move or change its motion.

• Force and motion are unrelated concepts.

• Motion can occur without any force acting on an object.

• Force is only needed to stop an object from moving.

What effect does friction have on moving objects?

• Friction speeds things up.

• Friction has no effect on moving objects.

• Friction slows things down.

• Friction makes objects move in circles.

What are the two types of forces?

• Frictional forces and gravitational forces.

• Contact forces and non-contact forces.

• Magnetic forces and electrical forces.

• Tension forces and buoyant forces.

What is a force?

• A type of energy that can be stored

• A push or a pull that can change the motion of an object.

• A measure of an object's mass

• A reaction to an object's weight.
