Force Quiz

What is a force?

• A force is a push or pull.

• A force is a type of wave

• A force is a form of matter

• A force is a type of energy

Name three types of forces.

• Gravitational force, electromagnetic force, and nuclear force

• Frictional force, tension force, and normal force

What is friction?

• Friction is the force that opposes the motion of an object when it is in contact with another object or surface.

• Friction is the force that causes objects to float

• Friction is the force that attracts objects to each other

• Friction is the force that accelerates the motion of an object

How does friction affect the movement of objects?

• Friction causes objects to float in the air

• Friction has no effect on the movement of objects

• Friction speeds up the movement of objects

• Friction slows down the movement of objects and can eventually stop them.

What is gravity?

• Gravity is the force that attracts objects toward each other.

• Gravity is the force that only exists on Earth.

• Gravity is the force that repels objects away from each other.

• Gravity is the force that only affects living organisms.

What is the difference between mass and weight?

• The main difference between mass and weight is that mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity.

• Mass and weight are essentially the same thing and can be used interchangeably

• Mass is the force exerted on an object due to gravity, while weight is a measure of the amount of matter in an object

• Mass is only applicable to objects on Earth, while weight is applicable to objects in space

What is magnetism?

• Magnetism is a force of attraction or repulsion that acts at a distance.

• Magnetism is a type of metal

• Magnetism is caused by sound waves

• Magnetism is only found in living organisms

How do magnets attract or repel objects?

• Magnets attract or repel objects based on their color

• Objects are attracted to magnets because of their weight

• Due to the alignment of their magnetic fields, like poles repel and opposite poles attract.

• Magnets repel objects because of their temperature

What is a balanced force?

• Two unequal forces acting in the same direction on an object

• A single force acting on an object

• No force acting on an object

• Two equal forces acting in opposite directions on an object

What is an unbalanced force?

• A force that only affects the color of an object

• A force that does not cause any change in an object's motion or shape

• A force that is always equal to zero

• An unbalanced force is a force that causes a change in an object's motion or shape.
