Laws and Forces in Motion Quiz

Objects remain stationary or in uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force.

Force is measured in Newtons (N) in the International System of Units (SI).

Inertia is the property of objects to resist changes in their state of motion.

Centrifugal friction is not a recognized type of friction in physics.

Thermal force is not considered one of the fundamental forces in physics.

Gravity between objects is determined by mass and distance, as per the law of universal gravitation.

Moment of inertia quantifies an object's resistance to changes in rotational motion.

Force (F) equals mass (m) times acceleration (a) as per Newton's second law.

Acceleration is calculated by dividing the net force by the mass (a = F/m).

Momentum is the product of an object's mass and velocity (p = m * v).

In elastic collisions, total mechanical energy, including kinetic energy, is conserved.

Weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity (Weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity).

Torque is the product of force and the perpendicular distance from the pivot point (Torque = force * distance).

Gravitational force decreases to one-fourth when the distance between objects is doubled.

The motion of a rocket is explained by Newton's second law, linking force, mass, and acceleration.

Centripetal force acts toward the center of rotation, keeping an object in circular motion.

Hooke's Law describes the relationship between force, spring constant, and displacement in a spring.

Unilateral collision is not a recognized type of collision in physics.

Buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by a submerged object.
