6.

What is the definition of 'Support Force'?

a)

The downhill portion of the net force that causes an object to slide or roll along a ramp.

b)

A push exerted by a surface on an object, acting perpendicular to that surface.

c)

Describes an object that has a zero net force, meaning it is at rest or moving at a constant velocity.

d)

Moving or extending in the same direction, like two lines that never intersect.

7.

What is the definition of 'Ramp Force'?

a)

The downhill portion of the net force that causes an object to slide or roll along a ramp.

b)

At a right angle (90°) to a given line or surface.

c)

To move without acceleration at a constant velocity because all forces are balanced.

d)

A push exerted by a surface on an object, acting perpendicular to that surface.

8.

What does 'Inertial' mean?

a)

Describes an object that has a zero net force, meaning it is at rest or moving at a constant velocity.

b)

Moving or extending in the same direction, like two lines that never intersect.

c)

At a right angle (90°) to a given line or surface.

d)

The downhill portion of the net force that causes an object to slide or roll along a ramp.

9.

What does 'Perpendicular' mean?

a)

At a right angle (90°) to a given line or surface.

b)

Moving or extending in the same direction, like two lines that never intersect.

c)

To move without acceleration at a constant velocity because all forces are balanced.

d)

Describes an object that has a zero net force, meaning it is at rest or moving at a constant velocity.

10.

What does 'Parallel' mean?

a)

Moving or extending in the same direction, like two lines that never intersect.

b)

At a right angle (90°) to a given line or surface.

c)

The downhill portion of the net force that causes an object to slide or roll along a ramp.

d)

A push exerted by a surface on an object, acting perpendicular to that surface.

11.

What does 'Coasts' mean?

a)

To move without acceleration at a constant velocity because all forces are balanced.

b)

The downhill portion of the net force that causes an object to slide or roll along a ramp.

c)

Describes an object that has a zero net force, meaning it is at rest or moving at a constant velocity.

d)

A push exerted by a surface on an object, acting perpendicular to that surface.

12.

What is the definition of 'Interaction'?

a)

When two or more things affect each other, often involving forces in physics.

b)

A process where only one object changes its state.

c)

A situation where objects remain unaffected by each other.

d)

A term used to describe the movement of a single object.
