What is the relationship between force and motion?

• Force is a push or pull that can change the motion of an object.

• Force is the same as mass and does not affect motion.

• Force is only relevant when an object is at rest.

• Force has no impact on the motion of an object.

What is the difference between motion and position?

• Motion is the location of an object at a specific point in time, while position refers to the change in position of an object over time.

• Motion refers to the change in position of an object over time, while position is the location of an object at a specific point in time.

• Motion and position are the same concepts and can be used interchangeably.

• Position refers to the speed of an object, while motion refers to the direction of an object.

What is the advantage of a bony fish tail fin?

• It allows for quicker changes in direction because it is controlled by muscles, making it more agile than a shark's tail fin.

• It provides more strength for swimming in deep waters.

• It helps in maintaining buoyancy while swimming.

• It is larger than the tail fin of a shark, allowing for greater propulsion.

What does it mean to do work in physics?

• Applying a force to an object and causing it to move in the direction of the force.

• Lifting an object without any force applied.

• Moving an object without any force involved.

• Applying a force that does not result in movement.

How does boiling water provide thermal energy?

• By transferring heat to the water, causing its temperature to rise until it reaches the boiling point.

• By cooling the water down to create steam.

• By mixing with cold water to create a temperature balance.

• By evaporating the water into the air, which absorbs heat.

What is the role of a tail fin in fish?

• It helps fish breathe underwater.

• It helps fish propel themselves through water, change direction, and maintain balance.

• It is used for communication with other fish.

• It serves as a protective shield against predators.

What is the significance of muscle control in fish movement?

• It allows fish to float effortlessly without swimming.

• It enables precise movements for efficient swimming, quick direction changes, and predator evasion.

• It helps fish to breathe underwater more effectively.

• It allows fish to communicate with each other through body movements.
