  1. Question 1

    What is a force?

    • AA push or a pull
    • BThe quantity of matter
    • CThe rate of change of distance
    • DThe amount of heat
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    The chapter describes force as a push or a pull that can change motion.

  2. Question 2

    Which of the following is a contact force?

    • AGravitational force
    • BFriction
    • CElectrostatic force
    • DMagnetic force
    Show answer

    Answer: B

    Friction acts between surfaces in contact.

  3. Question 3

    Which of the following is a non-contact force?

    • ATension
    • BFriction
    • CElectrostatic force
    • DNormal force
    Show answer

    Answer: C

    Electrostatic force can act between charged objects without physical contact.

  4. Question 4

    Which equation represents Newton's law of gravitation?

    • AF = Gm1m2/r^2
    • BF = ma
    • Cp = mv
    • DW = mg
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    The gravitational force depends on the product of the masses and the inverse square of their separation.

  5. Question 5

    Which of the four fundamental forces is weakest according to the chapter?

    • AStrong nuclear
    • BElectromagnetic
    • CWeak nuclear
    • DGravitational
    Show answer

    Answer: D

    The supplied text identifies gravity as the weakest fundamental force.
