If an object is moving to the right, this force is pushing or pulling to the left:
friction
applied
normal
tension
The force that keeps objects on top of surfaces instead of letting them sink into the surface is known as:
normal
abnormal
static
inertia
The force exerted by ropes and chains is called
tension
normal
elastic
mechanical
In a force diagram, or free-body diagram, the size/length of the arrow tells you this about the force:
relative strength
relative distance
relative direction
In a force diagram, or free-body diagram, the pointy-end of the arrow tells you this about the force:
relative strength
relative distance
relative direction
When determining the NET force on an object you should (TWO correct answers)
subtract forces in opposite directions
add forces in the same direction
divide by velocity
multiply by acceleration
What is the NET FORCE of this diagram?
17 N, right
17 N, left
23 N, right
12 N, up
The best way to label a push or a pull on a diagram is to use
This object would be moving (pick all that are correct):
up
down
left
right
The down-arrow in this diagram is most-likely:
gravity
normal
a push or pull
friction
The up-arrow in this diagram is most-likely:
gravity
normal
a push or pull
friction
If this object were moving right, the left-arrow in this diagram is most-likely:
gravity
normal
a push or pull
friction
Which of the following best describes the object in this diagram.

This diagram can be used to indicate which of the following? (TWO correct answers)
a object at rest
an object moving at a constant velocity (speed)
an object accelerating
(Trick question -- there is only one correct answer)
an object decelerating
