100 N

2.

Which of the following statements on Newton’s Laws of Motion is FALSE?

a)

Both force and weight are measured in Newtons.

b)

Action and reaction forces are both exerted by a single body

c)

In a weightless environment like space, it requires force to set a body in motion.

d)

A lighter body will have greater acceleration than a heavier one when applied with a similar force.

3.

Which of the following statements on Newton’s Laws of Motion is TRUE?

a)

Force is required to keep an object in motion.

b)

Inertia is the natural tendency of matter to resist motion.

c)

The presence of a net force on a body means that it is accelerating.

d)

The reaction force follows after an action force is applied on a body.

4.

You are in the front seat of a fast-moving jeep when you notice a mosquito flying directly into the windshield and splattering. Which of the following statements on the given scenario is TRUE?

a)

Both bodies received the same force during the interaction.

b)

Both bodies received the same acceleration after the interaction.

c)

The jeepney has more mass; hence, the force exerted on it is greater.

d)

The jeepney has more mass; hence, the force received by it is greater.

5.

Using Newton’s First Law of Motion, determine which of the following statements is FALSE?

a)

Unbalanced force is needed to accelerate an object from rest.

b)

Matter has a natural tendency to go back to a resting state/position.

c)

The Law of Inertia is applicable to both moving and non-moving objects.

d)

When a net force is absent, a moving object will continue moving at a constant speed in the same direction.
