2.

The tendency of an object to stay at rest or to continue to move is called _______________.
- Inertia
- S
- S
- S
- S
Correct Answer

A. Inertia

Explanation

The correct answer is inertia. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion, whether it is at rest or moving. This means that an object will stay at rest unless acted upon by an external force, and an object in motion will continue moving in a straight line at a constant speed unless acted upon by an external force. Inertia is a fundamental property of matter and is related to an object's mass.

_______________ is the application of force to make an object move in the direction of the force.
- Work
- S

- S
Correct Answer

A. Work

Explanation

Work is the application of force to make an object move in the direction of the force. When a force is applied to an object and causes it to move, work is being done. Work is calculated by multiplying the force applied to an object by the distance over which the force is applied. It is a measure of the energy transferred to the object and is expressed in joules.

____________ is the force of attraction that exists between two objects.
- Gravity
- S
- S
- S
- S
Correct Answer

A. Gravity

Explanation

Gravity is the force of attraction that exists between two objects. It is a fundamental force in nature that pulls objects towards each other. This force is responsible for keeping planets in orbit around the sun, objects falling to the ground, and the overall structure of the universe. Gravity is determined by the mass of the objects and the distance between them. The greater the mass, the stronger the gravitational force.

_________________ is a change of position in a certain amount of time.
- Motion
- S
- S
- S
- S
Correct Answer

A. Motion

Explanation

Motion is a change of position in a certain amount of time. It refers to the movement or displacement of an object or person from one place to another. It involves a change in location and can be described in terms of speed, direction, and velocity. Motion can occur in various forms such as linear, circular, or oscillatory, and it is a fundamental concept in physics and everyday life.
