Force and Motion Review Part 1

When a net force is applied to an object, that means that the object:

• has more mass

• accelerates

• remains motionless

• has less momentum

What causes an object to have weight?

• Weight only depends on the type of atoms in an object.

• An object's weight and mass have nothing to do with each other.

• Weight is determined by an object's size.

• Weight is gravity's force on an object's mass.

Which statement is a correct explanation for balanced forces acting on an object?

• The speed of the object decreases.

• The direction of the object changes.

• The speed of the object increases.

• The motion of the object stays the same.

What unit of measuremen t do we use for force?

• Inches

• Meters

• Newtons

• Seconds

An object is traveling in a straight line in space. No forces are affecting it. What will happen to the object's motion?

• It will move faster and faster because there is no force to stop it.

• It will not change. It will continue in the same direction at the same speed.

• It will stop immediately when the force that started its motion goes away.

• It will gradually stop because there is no force to keep it moving.

The diagram below shows a boat moving north in a river at 3 m/s while the current in the river moves south at 1 m/s.

How will the boat be affected if it enters a part of the river where the current is moving south at 2 m/s?

• The boat will move slower.

• The boat will move faster.

• The boat will stop.

• The boat will move to the west.
