1.

What are the different types of forces?

a)

Gravitational force, electromagnetic force, weak nuclear force, and strong nuclear force

b)

Centripetal force, centrifugal force, and elastic force

c)

Magnetic force, electric force, and kinetic force

d)

Frictional force, tension force, and normal force

2.

Explain the difference between contact and non-contact forces.

a)

Contact forces only occur in outer space

b)

Contact forces require physical contact between two objects, while non-contact forces can act at a distance.

c)

Contact forces are stronger than non-contact forces

d)

Non-contact forces can only act on living organisms

3.

Calculate the force when a 5 kg object is accelerated at 2 m/s^2.

a)

10 N

b)

3 N

c)

15 N

d)

7 N

4.

Define pressure and its formula.

a)

P = F/V

b)

P = F*D

c)

P = A/F

d)

P = F/A

5.

What is the unit of force?

a)

Meter (m)

b)

Kilogram (kg)

c)

Newton (N)

d)

Joule (J)

6.

Describe the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration.

a)

Force is inversely proportional to mass and acceleration

b)

Force is directly proportional to acceleration but inversely proportional to mass

c)

Force is directly proportional to mass but inversely proportional to acceleration

d)

Force is directly proportional to mass and acceleration

7.

Give an example of a force that acts at a distance.

a)

Electromagnetic force

b)

Gravitational force

c)

Magnetic force

d)

Frictional force

8.

Explain the concept of balanced and unbalanced forces.

a)

Balanced forces are equal in size and opposite in direction, resulting in no change in motion. Unbalanced forces are unequal in size and/or not opposite in direction, resulting in a change in motion.

b)

Balanced forces are unequal in size and opposite in direction, resulting in a change in motion. Unbalanced forces are equal in size and opposite in direction, resulting in no change in motion.

c)

Balanced forces are equal in size and same in direction, resulting in no change in motion. Unbalanced forces are equal in size and opposite in direction, resulting in a change in motion.

d)

Balanced forces are unequal in size and opposite in direction, resulting in no change in motion. Unbalanced forces are equal in size and same in direction, resulting in a change in motion.

9.

How does surface area affect pressure?

a)

Surface area and pressure are directly proportional

b)

Surface area has no effect on pressure

c)

Surface area and pressure are unrelated

d)

Surface area and pressure are inversely proportional

10.

a)

400 Pa

b)

250 Pa

c)

100 Pa

d)

50 Pa
