Quarter/Week Quarter 1/ Week 1
MELC Investigate the relationship between the amount of
force applied and the mass of the object to the amount
of change in the object’s motion

Directions: Choose the letter of the correct answer. Write your answer on your answer sheets.

1. After the last period of their class for the day, the teacher asks the help of one of her students to push a 15
kg table to the other side of the room. If it accelerates at 3 m/s /s, how much force did the students apply?

A. 15 B. 45 C. 45 kg-m/s/s D. 45 N

2. You and your family travel to Subic for the summer vacation, you were told to seat beside your dad who
drives the car and instructed you to wear your seatbelt. Using Newton’s Law of Motion, explain why you
need to wear a seatbelt when riding a car.

A. Avoid paying the penalty if captured by the police

B. For safety precautions, if there is an accident on the road.
C. According to Newton's first law of motion, an object or body opposes changes in motion because of its
inertia.
D. It will prevent our bodies from continuing to move in the same direction and at the same speed as the
car in the event of an accident.

3.

Given the illustration above, how does mass change the motion of an object?

A. With applying force, two objects will move.

B. More force must be applied to the heavier object to make it move faster.
C. If you give the same force to two different objects, the small object moves faster.
D. Second law states that acceleration is directly proportional to the force but inversely proportional to the
mass.

4. When we kick a ball, we exert force in a specific direction. The stronger the ball is kicked, the stronger the
force we put on it and the further away it will travel. What specific concept in the laws of motion explains
the situation stated?

A. The Law of Inertia

B. The Law of Acceleration
C. The acceleration of an object is affected by the magnitude of force applied.
D. The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force applied to it.

5. You applied the same net force to object A and object B. The observed accelerations of the two objects are
not the same; object A has an acceleration three times that of object B. Which of the following is correct?

A. Object A is expensive.
B. The mass of object A is lesser that object B.
C. The mass of the two objects has something to do with the acceleration.
D. The Object A accelerates more than Object B because mass is inversely proportional to acceleration. It is
stated in the law of acceleration that; acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and
the amount of force applied.
