Forces and Momentum Quiz

#1

Which of the following is a fundamental force in nature?

Gravity
Explanation

Gravity is one of the fundamental forces that governs interactions between objects with mass.

#2

Which of the following scenarios represents a balanced force?

A book resting on a table
Explanation

When a book rests on a table, the forces acting on it are balanced, resulting in no change in its motion.

#3

What is the unit of momentum in the International System of Units (SI)?

Kilogram-meter per second
Explanation

The unit of momentum in the SI system is kilogram-meter per second (kg·m/s).

#4

Which law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction?

Newton's Third Law
Explanation

Newton's Third Law of Motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

#5

Which of the following represents a unit of force in the International System of Units (SI)?

Newton
Explanation

The Newton is the unit of force in the International System of Units (SI).

#6

What is the formula for calculating momentum?

Momentum = Mass × Velocity
Explanation

Momentum is calculated by multiplying an object's mass by its velocity.

#7

In which direction does the net force act on an object in equilibrium?

Zero/No direction
Explanation

In equilibrium, the net force acting on an object is zero, meaning it has no specific direction.

#8

What happens to an object's momentum if the net force acting on it is zero?

Momentum remains constant
Explanation

If the net force acting on an object is zero, its momentum remains constant.

#9

Which of the following is a vector quantity?

Velocity
Explanation

Velocity, being a quantity with both magnitude and direction, is a vector quantity.

#10

Which type of force opposes the relative motion or tendency of such motion between two surfaces in contact?

Friction
Explanation

Friction is the force that opposes the relative motion or tendency of motion between two surfaces in contact.

#11

What is the law of conservation of momentum?

The total momentum of a system remains constant if no external force acts on it.
Explanation

The law of conservation of momentum states that in the absence of external forces, the total momentum of a system remains unchanged.

#12

What is the SI unit of force?

Newton
Explanation

The SI unit of force is the Newton, named after Sir Isaac Newton.

#13

What is the relationship between force and acceleration according to Newton's second law?

Force is equal to the product of mass and acceleration.
Explanation

According to Newton's second law, force is equal to the product of an object's mass and its acceleration.

#14

In a collision between two objects, what quantity is conserved?

Momentum
Explanation

In collisions between objects, momentum is conserved.

#15

What is the term for the force exerted by a fluid (liquid or gas) on an object moving through it?

Drag force
Explanation

The force exerted by a fluid on an object moving through it is called drag force.
