Newton's Second Law Quiz

Why is it easier to push an empty trolley compared to a loaded one?

• Because the empty trolley is smaller in size.

• Because the empty trolley has less friction.

• Because the empty trolley has more mass, leading to greater acceleration.

• Because the empty trolley has less mass, leading to greater acceleration.

What does Newton's second law suggest about lifting a small box versus a heavy one?

• Lifting a small box is easier because it has more friction.

• Lifting a small box is harder due to its size.

• Lifting a small box is harder because it has more mass.

• Lifting a small box is easier because it has less mass.

How does a group of people pulling a wagon affect its acceleration?

• The wagon moves faster because the combined force increases acceleration.

• The wagon moves slower because of increased friction.

• The wagon moves slower because the force is divided.

• The wagon moves at the same speed regardless of the number of people.

Why is it easier for a team of horses to pull a vehicle compared to a single horse?

• Because the vehicle has less friction.

• Because the team of horses applies more force, increasing acceleration.

• Because the vehicle becomes lighter.

• Because the team of horses is faster.

What happens to the acceleration of a car when pushed by a group of people?

• The car's acceleration is unaffected by the number of people.

• The car's acceleration increases due to the greater applied force.

• The car's acceleration remains the same.

• The car's acceleration decreases.
