#1

1. Which of Newton's laws states that an object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced external force?

First Law
Second Law
Third Law
Law of Gravitation
#2

2. The SI unit of force is:

Joule
Newton
Watt
Pascal
#3

10. What is the unit of measurement for acceleration?

Newton
Joule
Meter per second squared (m/s²)
Kilogram
#4

14. What happens to the velocity of an object if the net force acting on it is zero?

Velocity increases
Velocity decreases
Velocity remains constant
Velocity becomes negative
#5

15. In which scenario is work done by a force?

Holding a book stationary in your hand
Lifting a book off the ground
Pushing a book with constant velocity
Sliding a book across a table with friction
#6

3. According to Newton's second law, the force acting on an object is equal to the object's:

Mass times acceleration
Velocity times time
Distance divided by time
Weight divided by mass
#7

4. If an object experiences a net force of 20 N and accelerates at 4 m/s², what is its mass?

5 kg
8 kg
16 kg
80 kg
#8

6. Which of the following is a conservative force?

Frictional force
Spring force
Air resistance
Tension force
#9

7. In the context of force and motion, what does the term 'inertia' refer to?

The tendency of an object to resist a change in its state of motion
The force applied to an object
The speed of an object
The acceleration of an object
#10

12. What does the term 'net force' represent?

The total force acting on an object
The force exerted by an object
The frictional force
The force of gravity
#11

5. Newton's third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite:

Reaction
Force
Acceleration
Velocity
#12

8. If the net force acting on an object is zero, the object will:

Come to rest
Continue with constant velocity
Accelerate indefinitely
Rotate around its axis
#13

9. What is the relationship between mass and weight?

They are the same
Mass is the force exerted by an object, while weight is the amount of matter in an object
Weight is the force exerted by an object, while mass is the amount of matter in an object
They are unrelated
#14
