Forces and Motion Quiz

What is the definition of "drag" in science?

• The force that pushes an object forward in the air

• The force that opposes the motion of an object through a fluid (like air or water)

• The force that pulls objects toward the ground

• The force that makes objects spin

• The amount of matter in an object

• The distance traveled per unit of time

• The force applied to an object

What is "friction"?

• The force that helps objects float

• The force that resists motion between two touching surfaces

• The force that pulls objects upward

• The force that increases speed

Which statement best defines "weight"?

• The amount of space an object takes up

• The force of gravity acting on an object's mass

• The amount of matter in an object

• The speed at which an object moves

What is "mass"?

• The force that acts on an object due to gravity

• The amount of matter in an object

• The distance an object travels
