6. When two equal forces act in opposite directions on an object, they are called ______________________.
a. frictional forces
b. balanced forces
c. centripetal force
d. gravitational force
7. The ______of an object tends to make the object resist being set into motion.
a. mass b. motion c. force d. unbalanced forces
8. Which of the following is the best example of Newton's First Law of Motion?
a. Jessica's body flies forward after she hits the brakes
b. Jessica drives a car
c. Jessica is at a road crossing
d. Jessica is sleeping
9. What unit do we measure force in?
a. Newtons b. Volts c. Joules d. None of these
10. Which of the following statements is TRUE about acceleration?
a. the speeding up, slowing down
b. change in direction of an object
c. affected by the forces applied to objects
d. all of the above
11. If a woman pushes a cart at rest, the cart pushes back with the same amount of force. Will the cart be set into motion?
a. Yes, because there is net force acting on the cart
b. Yes, because there is time delay between the action and reaction forces.
c. No, the cart will not be set into motion since the two forces will cancel each other.
d. No, a friction force will act on the cart, preventing it to be set into motion.
