What is the effect of forces on a stationary object?

• It changes its color

• It starts moving

• It becomes smaller

• It becomes heavier

What is velocity?

• The rate of change of the position of an object

• The color of an object

• The weight of an object

• The temperature of an object

How does speed differ from velocity?

• Speed includes direction, velocity does not

• Speed describes only how fast an object is moving

• Speed describes the color of an object

• Speed describes the weight of an object

Which term describes only how fast an object is moving?

• Velocity

• Speed

• Direction

• Weight and size of an object

• Temperature and pressure of an object

What is the result of unbalanced forces on an object?

• The object remains stationary.

• The object moves in the direction of the larger force.

• The object moves in the opposite direction.

• The object breaks.

What is the main purpose of a force diagram?

• To calculate speed

• To illustrate forces

• To measure temperature

• To show color changes

What does a force diagram help to illustrate?

• The color of an object.

• The forces acting on an object.

• The temperature of an object.
