Force and Acceleration in Relation to Energy and Motion

What is acceleration?

• The speed of an object in a given direction

• The energy of an object at rest

• The mass of an object

• The rate of change of velocity

How is energy related to force and acceleration?

• Energy is transferred when force causes motion

• Energy decreases with force

• Energy is unrelated to force and acceleration

• Energy only depends on velocity

According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, what is the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration?

• Force is equal to mass divided by acceleration

• Force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration

• Force is equal to acceleration divided by mass

• Force is equal to mass minus acceleration

What happens to an object's acceleration if the force applied to it increases, assuming the mass remains constant?

• The acceleration decreases

• The acceleration remains the same

• The acceleration increases

• The acceleration becomes zero

What is the rate at which an object's velocity changes over time called?

• Speed

• Acceleration

• Force

• Energy

When a force is applied to an object, what can it change?

• The object's mass

• The object's speed or direction of motion

• The object's energy at rest

• The object's temperature

Why is the relationship between force and acceleration crucial for understanding how objects move?

• Because it explains how objects gain mass

• Because it explains how objects change color

• Because it explains how objects accelerate when force is applied

• Because it explains how objects lose energy

What happens to a car when you exert a larger force on it?

• The car decelerates

• The car remains stationary

• The car accelerates faster

• The car moves in the opposite direction

What is kinetic energy?

• The energy of motion

• The energy of an object at rest

• The energy stored in chemical bonds

• The energy due to an object's position

What is potential energy?

• The energy of motion

• The energy of an object at rest

• The energy stored based on an object's position or condition

• The energy released during a chemical reaction
