    Correct Answer
    F. The property of matter that measures its resistance to acceleration. A measure of the number of atoms in it. The basic unit of measurement is the kilogram.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Mass". Mass is a property of matter that measures its resistance to acceleration. It is a measure of the number of atoms in an object and is measured in kilograms. Mass is related to inertia, which is the tendency of an object to keep moving in a straight line at a constant velocity. The greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia and resistance to changes in motion.

      A force perpendicular to the surface on which an object sits

    Correct Answer
    L. A force perpendicular to the surface on which an object sits
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "A force perpendicular to the surface on which an object sits." This is known as the normal force. It is the force exerted by a surface to support the weight of an object resting on it. It acts perpendicular to the surface and prevents the object from sinking into or falling through the surface. The normal force is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force exerted by the object on the surface, according to Newton's third law of motion.

    Correct Answer
    B. A vector quantity that is defined as the rate at which an object changes its velocity
    Explanation
    Acceleration is a vector quantity that measures the rate at which an object changes its velocity. It is used to show the relative magnitude and direction of all forces acting upon an object in a given situation. The statement describes the relationship between acceleration and net force, stating that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. In simpler terms, acceleration is the measure of how quickly an object's velocity changes, and it is influenced by the forces acting on the object.

    • L.

      A force perpendicular to the surface on which an object sits

    Correct Answer
    I. A state in which opposing forces or influences are balanced
    Explanation
    Equilibrium is a state in which opposing forces or influences are balanced. This means that there is no net force acting on an object, resulting in no change in its motion. In other words, if an object is at rest, it will remain at rest, and if it is in motion, it will continue moving at a constant velocity. This concept is also known as the Law of Inertia, which states that an object will maintain its state of motion unless acted upon by an external force.

Force is a vector quantity that can change the motion of an object, and it is used to show the magnitude and direction of all forces acting on an object in a given situation. The statement also aligns with Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

    C. Used to show the relative magnitude and direction of all forces acting upon an object in a given situation
    Explanation
    The free body diagram is used to show the relative magnitude and direction of all forces acting upon an object in a given situation. It helps to visually represent the forces acting on an object and understand their effects on its motion. By drawing arrows to represent the forces and labeling them with their magnitudes and directions, the free body diagram provides a clear picture of the forces involved in a particular scenario. This allows for a better analysis of the forces and their impact on the object's motion and equilibrium.

      A force perpendicular to the surface on which an object sits

    Correct Answer
    G. The force that opposes the motion of an object.
    Explanation
    The given correct answer states that friction force is the force that opposes the motion of an object. Friction is a force that acts in the opposite direction to the motion of an object when it is in contact with another surface. It arises due to the interaction between the surfaces and can vary depending on factors such as the roughness of the surfaces and the force pressing them together. Friction plays a crucial role in everyday life, as it allows us to walk, drive vehicles, and grip objects. It is essential to overcome friction in certain situations, such as lubricating moving parts or reducing drag in vehicles, to optimize efficiency.

    Correct Answer
    K. The property of an object related to its mass, which creates the tendency of objects to keep moving in a straight line at constant velocity
    Explanation
    The given answer accurately describes inertia, which is the property of an object related to its mass. Inertia creates the tendency for objects to keep moving in a straight line at a constant velocity. This means that an object will continue in its state of motion (either at rest or moving with a constant velocity) unless acted upon by an external force. Inertia is directly related to the mass of an object, with larger masses having greater inertia.

      A force perpendicular to the surface on which an object sits

    Correct Answer
    D. The sum of all forces acting on an object
    Explanation
    The correct answer is the sum of all forces acting on an object. This means that when multiple forces are applied to an object, the net force is the vector sum of all those forces. It takes into account both the magnitude and direction of each force to determine the overall effect on the object's motion. By calculating the net force, we can determine whether the forces are balanced (resulting in no change in motion) or unbalanced (resulting in acceleration or deceleration).

    Correct Answer
    A. This is also known as the Law of Inertia. An object will continue in its state of motion until an outside forces changes that motion.
    Explanation
    The given answer explains Newton's First Law, also known as the Law of Inertia. It states that an object will continue in its state of motion until an outside force changes that motion. This means that an object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will continue moving at a constant velocity in a straight line, unless acted upon by an external force. This law describes the concept of inertia, which is the property of matter that measures its resistance to acceleration.

    H. The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
    Explanation
    The answer correctly describes Newton's Second Law, which states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. This means that the greater the force applied to an object, the greater its acceleration will be, and the greater the mass of the object, the smaller its acceleration will be for a given force. The direction of the acceleration is the same as the direction of the net force.
