In which direction does gravity exert force (as experienced by people or objects on Earth)?
Up
Down
Both up and down
In all directions
If you roll a ball across the carpet, which forces will cause it to slow down and then stop?
The push from your hand and gravity
Magnetic pull and upthrust
Gravity, friction and air resistance
Upthrust and air resistance
What is the unit for force?
Newtons
Kilometers
Celcius
Fahrenheit
What is a force?
a source of energy
a push or pull
amount of matter in an object
space occupied by an object
What causes a backpack full of books to feel heavy when you lift it?
Friction
Air resistance
Upthrust and friction
Mass and gravity
Which unit should be used to measure mass (the amount of matter an object contains)?
Newtons
Kilogram
Meters
Celcius
Forces can cause objects to change its:
Shape
Direction
Speed
All of the above
When an object is not moving the forces are said to be:
Balanced
Unbalanced
If three balls of different materials were dropped at the same time from the same height,
which would hit the ground first? (Assume there is no air resistance.)
a tennis ball
a rubber ball
a steel ball
They would all hit the ground at the same time.
What happens when two forces act in the same direction?
They cancel each other out.
The bigger force moves the object.
The forces are added together.
The force that one surface exerts on another when the two rub against each other is called:
friction
acceleration
inertia
gravity
Parachutes slow skydivers to a safer terminal velocity because parachutes
increase air resistance
decrease air resistance
increase gravitational pull
decrease gravitational pull
Which type of elastic force is present in the strings on a guitar?
compression
tension
friction
inertia
Solve for the resultant force:
30N to the left
70N to the right
30N to the right
70N to the left
Solve for the resultant force:
55N upwards
55N downwards
25N upwards
25N downwards
Solve for the resultant force:
50N upwards
50N downwards
0N, balanced
None of the above
The size of the force of gravity between two objects depend on:
the mass of the two objects
how far apart the objects are
All of the above
This refers to how strongly gravity is pulling an object down (measured in newtons).
Volume
Mass
Weight
Temperature
This refers to changing an object shape to reduce air or water resistance.
Restructuring
Landscaping
Streamlining
Weighing
Who developed the theory of gravity
Charles Darwin
Isaac Newton
Galileo Galilee
Albert Einstein
Which of the following has the strongest gravitational pull?
Moon
Mercury
Earth
Jupiter
There is no gravity in space.
True
False
All objects – even people – are attracted towards each other by gravity.
True
False
All surfaces create friction on an object moving over them.
True
False
Friction produces heat.
True
False
An person's mass changes as he moves from one planet to another.
True
False
