  • Q1
    How does inertia affect an object at rest?
    An object at rest will disappear
    An object at rest will start moving on its own
    An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an external force
    An object at rest will gradually begin to spin

  • Q2
    In a car crash, why is it important to wear a seatbelt in terms of inertia?
    Wearing a seatbelt helps the car accelerate faster
    Wearing a seatbelt makes the car turn more smoothly
    Wearing a seatbelt prevents the body from continuing forward due to inertia when the car suddenly stops
    Wearing a seatbelt increases the impact force of the crash

  • Q3
    What effect does friction have on an object's inertia?
    Friction helps an object move faster
    Friction has no impact on an object's inertia
    Friction can reduce an object's inertia by acting as a resisting force
    Friction increases an object's inertia

  • Q4
    Which of the following best describes inertia?
    The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion
    The speed of an object in motion
    The force that causes objects to move
    The ability of an object to float in water

  • Q5
    What happens when unbalanced forces act on an object?
    The object will change color
    The object will stop moving
    The object will move at a constant speed
    The object will accelerate in the direction of the larger force

  • Q6
    How does the speed of an object change when unbalanced forces act on it?
    The speed remains constant
    The object changes color
    The object stops moving
    The speed of the object increases or decreases depending on the direction of the force

  • Q7
    What happens to an object when balanced forces act on it?
    The object stops moving completely
    The object accelerates in the direction of the net force
    The object remains at rest or continues moving at a constant velocity
    The object moves in different directions at different speeds

  • Q8
    Which of the following factors does not affect friction?
    Force pushing the objects
    Color of the surface
    Roughness of the surfaces
    Weight of the objects

    Gravitational force
    Electric force
    Magnetic force

  • Q10
    Which of the following factors can increase friction between surfaces?
    Applying more force
    Adding more lubricant
    Decreasing the roughness of the surfaces
    Reducing the weight of the objects

  • Q11
    According to Newton's first law of motion, an object at rest tends to stay at rest unless acted upon by?
    magnetism
    an external force
    gravity
    friction

    Newton's third law of motion
    Newton's second law of motion

    Newton's second law of motion
    Newton's third law of motion
    Newton's first law of motion
    Newton's law of universal gravitation
