a. A ball being hit with a bat b. A person pulling a suitcase with a
handle
c. A paperclip being attracted to a magnet d. A chair pushed across the floor
____4. As a parachute descends, which force gradually increase until it balances the force of gravity?
a. Air resistance b. buoyant force c. normal force d. spring force
____5. While playing tug-of-war, your team pulls harder on the rope and the other team moves
forward. What type of force is your team applying to win the game?
a. Gravitational force b. Frictional force c. Magnetic force d. tension
force
____6. Which of the following best describes balanced forces?
a. Forces that is equal in size and opposite in direction, resulting in no change in motion.
b. Forces that always act in the same direction, causing objects to accelerate
c. Forces that do not act on an object at all, resulting in no motion
d. Forces that is unequal in size and opposite in direction, causing a change in motion.
e.
____7. What happens to an object when unbalanced forces act on it?
a. It changes its state of motion ( accelerates, decelerates, or changes direction.)
b. It moves at a constant speed in a straight line.
c. It remains at rest.
d. It remains unaffected and continues in its current state of motion.
____8. Which of the following is an example of balance forces?
a. A ball falling from a height b. a car accelerating on a highway
c.A book resting on a table d. a person pushing a stationary car
____9. A book is resting on a table. You push it lightly, but it doesn’t move. Why didn’t the book
move?
a. The table is applying an upward gravitational force.
b. The friction between the book and the table is greater than your push.
c. The book has no forces acting on it.
d. The push cancelled out the gravitational force.
____10. A student a uses a spring scale to pull a toy car across the table. The scale shows 5 newtons.
What is the 5 newtons measuring?
a. The car’s weight b. the distance the car travelled
[Link] force needed to move the car e. The car’s speed
____11. Which is the appropriate free-body diagram of a block sliding along the inclined plane?
____12. A rope is pulled from both ends with equal force. What is the net force?
a. Zero b. Greater than zero c. Less than zero d. Cannot be
determined

a. Moves in constant direction b. moves at constant speed
c. moves at varying speed d. moves with constant speed and
direction
____14.
A calibrate spring balance is used to measure the
force. As the object is attached to the hook, the spring
elongates. The amount of elongation in the calibrate
spring corresponds to the specific force value. What is
the force reading on the spring scale?
a. 10 N b. 20 N C. 30 N D. 40 N
