Forces and Freebody Diagrams Quiz

What is the unit used to measure force?

• Pascals

• Newtons

• Watts

• Joules

How is a force characterized in physics?

• As a scalar with only magnitude

• As a vector with magnitude and direction

• As a scalar with only direction

• As a vector with only direction

What is the net force if you push a box with 100 Newtons to the right and someone else pushes with 80 Newtons to the left?

• 180 Newtons to the left

• 20 Newtons to the left

• 20 Newtons to the right

• 180 Newtons to the right

What is the purpose of a Freebody diagram?

• To calculate the speed of an object

• To visually represent all forces acting on an object

• To measure the temperature of an object

• To determine the mass of an object

How can Freebody diagrams help in finding the net force?

• By showing the mass of the object

• By displaying the velocity of the object

• By clearly showing the vectors to add them together

• By indicating the temperature changes
