1.

It is something that causes stationary objects to move, change speed or direction of motion of moving bodies. It can also change the size or shape of an object.

a)

Acceleration

b)

Magnetism

c)

Force

d)

Gravity

2.

A quantity which has both magnitude and direction.

a)

Scalar quantity

b)

Vector Quantity

c)

Speed

d)

Velocity

3.

It is the force between two surfaces in contact. It has a direction opposite to the motion and parallel to the surface.

a)

Tension

b)

Magnetic Field

c)

Friction

d)

Non-contact Force

4.

It is the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on any object. It is measured in newton (N) because it is a kind of force.

a)

Weight

b)

Mass

c)

Gravity

d)

Contact force

5.

It is a branch of physics dealing with the behaviour of bodies that are at rest, or moving at a constant velocity under the influence of two or more forces.

a)

Combining Forces

b)

Net

c)

Net Force

d)

Statics

6.

A quantity which has only magnitude and is completely specified by a number and a unit.

a)

Vector

b)

Resultant Force

c)

Scalar Quantity

d)

Net Force

7.

The point where the whole weight of a certain body can be considered concentrated.

a)

Point of Equilibrium

b)

Static Equilibrium

c)

Center of Gravity

d)

Net

8.

A change in position of any body or object with respect to a fixed reference point.

a)

Motion

b)

Uniform Motion

c)

Circular Motion

d)

Linear Motion

9.

Defined as distance with direction.

a)

Circular Motion

b)

Speed

c)

Velocity

d)

Displacement

10.

This is the movement of an object that goes back and forth about a central point.

a)

Uniform Motion

b)

Vibrational Motion

c)

Translational Motion

d)

Circular Motion

11.

(a)   is a combination of vertical and horizontal motions that are completely independent of each other.

12.

(a)   is the total distance traveled by an object in the total time of changing position.

13.

The (a)   states that if a body is at rest, it will continue to remain at rest or will keep moving if it is moving unless acted upon by a force.

14.

The (a)   can also be denoted as the point of origin of the motion of any moving body or object. It can also be pointed in the coordinate system that refers to starting positions of a particle in motion.

15.

The forces are considered (a)   when the directions of the forces to which they are applied intersect or meet at a common point.
