- Q7The image above shows two opposite forces acting on a box, what can we say that is true about the affect of the forces on the box?The box will move to the rightThe forces are balanced. The box will not move.The forces are unbalancedThe box will move to the right30sS8P3b
- Q8Which graph represents an object that is accelerating?DBAC30sS8P2a
- Q9The course or path that an object is moving on is itsaccelerationdirectionspeedposition30sS8P3a
- Q10.According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, an object acceleratesWhen no force is appliedIn the same direction as the applied forceIn the opposite direction as the applied forceSometimes in the same direction, sometimes in the opposite direction30sS8P3c
