a force is best defined as ---

• the application of weight

• a push or pull that is exerted on matter

• the flow of electric charges

• a bond in which electrons are shared

A student pushes against a wall with 20 N of force and the wall does not move. In this situation, the wall exerts --

• 0 N of force

• less than 20 N of force

• 20 N of force

• more than 20 N of force

The force of an object, with a certain mass accelerating at a certain rate, can be determined by using the equation below.

force = mass x acceleration

Which object would have the greatest force?

• A 5 kg object accelerating at 10 m/s

• A 5 kg object accelerating at 20 m/s

• a 20 kg object accelerating at 4 m/s

• a 20 kg object accelerating at 3 m/s
