@ Physics is the study of how things interact and their motions/forces. Performance of everyday
activities depends on the forces and the impact on the object/individual. The study of time and space is
quantum mechanics. The student of measurements is metrology.
a. Time and Space
b. Measurement
*c. How things move and interact
d. Temperature
2. If an individual throws an object onto a steep road, resistance will adjust the speed of the object. This
is known as :
@ Friction is the force that one surface exerts on another due to the roughness of the surface. In this
case, the steep road acts as friction to change the speed of the object. The roughness of the road
changes the friction, which changes the object’s speed.
a. Weight
*b. Friction
c. Volume
d. Path Pattern
3. Imagine you are driving down the road, and all of a sudden, an object appears in the road. To avoid
hitting the object, you press the breaks on the car. This applies a force, the velocity decreases, and the
car stops. This activity of velocity change is known as what?
@ Newton’s Second Law is the Law of Acceleration. It states that when a force acts on a body, the body
accelerates or changes velocity. In addition, a force can act on a body to slow the velocity or
acceleration. When, the break is pressed this changes the acceleration of the vehicle (the object).
a. Newton’s First Law
*b. Newton’s Second Law
c. Newton’s Third Law
d. Newton’s Fourth Law

, 4. A person swinging a baseball bat during a game acts a vector causing an object (the baseball) to move
or change it’s motion. This is an example of what?
@ A force is an example of a vector quantity, which has magnitude and direction. This vector quantity
causes an object to move or change their motion. In this case, the baseball bat acts as force to change
the baseball’s direction or speed.
*a. A force
b. A resistance
c. A change
d. A gravitational pull
5. Which of the following is an example of a lever? Select all that apply.
@ A lever is a bar or rod arranged to permit rotation about an axis (fulcrum). Levers can enable an
object to be moved over long distances with minimal effort. All of the choices are considered levers.
*a. Tweezers
*b. Stapler
*c. Nut Cracker
*d. Mousetrap
