Understanding Forces and Motion

What is the definition of force?

• A measure of weight

• A push or a pull

• The speed of an object

• The distance an object moves

What does a push do to an object?

• Moves objects toward them

• Moves objects away from them

• Increases the weight of an object

• Decreases the speed of an object

What does a pull do to an object?

• Moves objects toward them

• Moves objects away from them

• Increases the speed of an object

• Decreases the weight of an object

Which of the following statements is true about strength?

• Bigger forces make objects move slower

• Bigger forces make objects move farther

• Bigger forces make objects weigh more

• Bigger forces make objects move toward them

What effect do bigger forces have on the speed of an object?

• They make objects move slower

• They make objects move faster

• They make objects weigh more

• They make objects move toward them

What is the relationship between weight and force?

• Weight is a type of force

• Weight is unrelated to force

• Weight is the speed of an object

• Weight is the distance an object moves

Which of the following is true about speed?

• Speed is a push or a pull

• Speed is how fast something moves

• Speed is the weight of an object

• Speed is the strength of a force

What happens to an object when a bigger force is applied?

• It moves slower

• It moves faster

• It weighs less

• It stops moving

Which of the following is not explicitly defined in the prompt?

• Faster

• Slower

• Strength

• Pull
