- Q1What distinguishes weight from mass?Weight is the gravitational force acting on an object, while mass is the amount of matter in that object.Weight does not change with location, but mass does.Mass is the gravitational force acting on an object.Weight is the same as mass in all conditions.30s
- Q2If an object has a mass of 10 kg on Earth, what will its weight be?98 Newtons10 kg1 kg10 Newtons30s
- Q3Which of the following statements is true regarding mass and weight?Weight is constant regardless of location, while mass can change.Weight does not depend on mass.Mass and weight are the same in all environments.Mass is constant regardless of location, while weight can change depending on the gravitational pull.30s
- Q4What is the unit of measurement for mass in the International System of Units (SI)?NewtonKilogramPoundGram30s
- Q5If an object's mass is 50 kg, what would its weight on the Moon be (approximately 1.6 m/s² gravity)?50 Newtons100 Newtons80 Newtons200 Newtons30s
- Q6Which of the following correctly describes the relationship between weight and mass?Both weight and mass change with location in the same way.Mass is determined by weight and varies with location.Weight is proportional to mass and depends on gravitational force.Weight does not relate to the amount of mass an object has.30s
- Q7What happens to the weight of an object if it is moved from Earth to a place with weaker gravity, like the Moon?The weight increases.The weight remains the same.The weight becomes zero.The weight decreases.30s
- Q8What is the primary factor that affects the weight of an object?The color of the object.The material of the object.The temperature of the object.The gravitational pull of the planet it is on.30s
- Q9If an astronaut weighs 180 pounds on Earth, what would their mass be in kilograms?Approximately 81.65 kilograms0.81 kilograms180 kilograms36 kilograms30s
- Q10If an object's mass is doubled, what happens to its weight, assuming the same gravitational field?The weight becomes quadrupled.The weight also doubles.The weight stays the same.The weight is halved.30s
