  • Q4
    According to Newton's First Law of Motion, what will happen to an object in motion if no unbalanced force acts upon it?
    It will come to a stop.
    It will change direction.
    It will speed up.
    It will continue moving at the same speed and in the same direction.

  • Q7
    Which of the following statements accurately describes balanced forces?
    Balanced forces cause an object to accelerate.
    Balanced forces always result in an object at rest.
    Balanced forces only apply to objects in motion.
    Balanced forces can result in an object at rest or an object moving at a constant velocity.

  • Q8
    If a soccer ball is rolling across a field at a constant speed and in a straight line, what can you conclude about the forces acting on it?
    The forces acting on the ball are unbalanced.
    There is only one force acting on the ball.
    The forces acting on the ball are balanced.
    There are no forces acting on the ball.

  • Q9
    How does a heavier object resist changes in motion compared to a lighter object?
    Both objects resist changes in motion equally.
    The weight of an object has no impact on its resistance to change.
    A heavier object resists changes in motion more strongly.
    A heavier object resists changes in motion less strongly.
