a)
  • First Law

b)
  • Second Law

c)
  • Third Law

When a basketball is thrown towards the hoop, which force acts against the motion of the ball as it rises?

a)

  • Friction

b)

  • Gravity

c)

  • Air Resistance

d)

  • Inertia

4.

A swimmer pushes off the wall of a pool, generating a force that propels them forward. What principle explains why the swimmer moves in the opposite direction of the wall?

a)
  • Conservation of momentum

b)
  • Newton's First Law

c)
  • Conservation of energy

d)
  • Newton's Third Law

5.

Why does a badminton shuttlecock slow down more quickly compared to a tennis ball when both are hit with the same initial velocity?

a)
  • The shuttlecock has a larger surface area and experiences more air resistance

b)
  • The shuttlecock is heavier

c)
  • The shuttlecock has less mass and less momentum

d)
  • The shuttlecock is denser than the tennis ball

6.

A swimmer floats in a pool with most of their body submerged in water. Which of the following best explains why the swimmer floats

a)
  • The density of the swimmer is less than the density of water

b)
  • The swimmer applies a force equal to their weight

c)
  • The swimmer’s weight is greater than the buoyant force

d)
  • The swimmer's mass is greater than the water displaced

7.

As the jumper leaves the ground, kinetic energy is converted to (a)   at the peak of the jump

8.

When the rope moves in a circular path, it experiences (a)   force.

9.

When a person jumps rope, how do they maintain balance and stability during repeated jumps?

a)
  • By increasing their speed

b)
  • By shifting their center of mass with each jump

c)
  • By lowering their center of mass

d)
  • By keeping their body rigid and reducing movements

10.

When a striker hits a coin on a carrom board, the total (a)   before and after the collision remains constant, assuming no external forces act on the system.

11.

When a soccer player kicks the ball at an angle, the ball follows a curved path called a (a)   .

12.

Ice skaters experience less (a)   because the thin layer of water created by pressure on the ice surface reduces resistance.

13.

When a soccer player kicks the ball at an angle, which factor primarily determines how far the ball will travel?

a)

The ball’s mass

b)

The ball’s speed and angle of projection

c)

The spin of the ball

d)

The air pressure inside the ball
