    This is an example of what type of force? - ProProfs

    This is an example of what type of force?

    • Balanced force

    • Unbalanced force

    Correct Answer
    A. Unbalanced force
    Explanation
    An unbalanced force refers to a force that causes a change in an object's motion. In this case, since the question is asking about the type of force, the correct answer would be unbalanced force. This suggests that there is an external force acting on the object that is causing it to accelerate or change its direction. A balanced force, on the other hand, refers to forces that are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, resulting in no change in an object's motion.

    Force that opposes motion between two surfaces

    • Newton

    • Friction

    • Inertia

    • Gravity

    Correct Answer
    A. Friction
    Explanation
    Friction is the force that opposes motion between two surfaces. When two objects are in contact and one tries to move relative to the other, friction acts in the opposite direction to resist the motion. It is caused by the roughness of the surfaces and the interlocking of their microscopic irregularities. Friction is present in various everyday situations, such as walking, driving a car, or sliding objects on a table. It can be both helpful, like when it allows us to grip objects, and detrimental, like when it hinders the efficiency of machines.

     An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon

    • Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation

    • Momentum Law (Third Law)

    • Law of Inertia (First Law)

    • Acceleration Law (Second Law) Acceleration Law (Second Law)

    Correct Answer
    A. Law of Inertia (First Law)
    Explanation
    The given statement describes Newton's First Law of Motion, also known as the Law of Inertia. This law states that an object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will continue to move with a constant speed and direction, unless acted upon by an external force. This law is also referred to as the Law of Inertia because it explains how objects resist changes in their state of motion. The other options, such as Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation, Momentum Law (Third Law), and Acceleration Law (Second Law), do not accurately describe the concept mentioned in the statement.

  • 15. 

    What tool is used to measure force?

    • Scale

    • Spring scale

    • Triple beam balance scale

    • Digital scale

    Correct Answer
    A. Spring scale
    Explanation
    A spring scale is used to measure force. It consists of a coiled spring that stretches or compresses when a force is applied to it. The amount of stretch or compression is directly proportional to the force being applied. By reading the scale on the spring scale, the magnitude of the force can be determined. This tool is commonly used in physics experiments, engineering, and everyday applications where force measurement is required.

     For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.”

    • Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation

    • Momentum Law (Third Law)

    • Law of Inertia (First Law)

    • Acceleration Law (Second Law) Acceleration Law (Second Law) Acceleration Law (Second Law) Acceleration Law (Second Law)

    Correct Answer
    A. Momentum Law (Third Law)
    Explanation
    Newton's Third Law of Motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that when an object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts a force of equal magnitude but in the opposite direction on the first object. This is often referred to as the law of momentum, as the forces involved cause changes in momentum. The other laws mentioned in the question, such as the Law of Universal Gravitation, Law of Inertia, and Acceleration Law, do not directly relate to the concept of equal and opposite reactions.

    • Force

    • Inertia

    • Friction

    • Mass

    Correct Answer
    A. Inertia
    Explanation
    Inertia is the correct answer because it refers to the property of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. It is a measure of an object's mass and determines how difficult it is to change its velocity. Inertia is responsible for the tendency of objects to stay at rest or in motion unless acted upon by an external force. This property is observed in everyday situations, such as when a moving car suddenly stops and passengers continue to move forward due to their inertia.

    Rate this question:

  • 19.

    • Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation

    • Momentum Law (Third Law)

    • Law of Inertia (First Law)

    • Acceleration Law (Second Law)

    Correct Answer
    A. Acceleration Law (Second Law)
    Explanation
    The given statement states that the change of motion of an object depends on the size of the force and the mass of the object. This statement aligns with Newton's Second Law of Motion, which states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. Therefore, the correct answer is the Acceleration Law (Second Law).

    Rate this question:

  • 20.
