D) acceleration that occurs in a circular motion
force
  • 7. Force
A) an SI unit used by scientists to express force
B) a push or a pull; all forces have both size and direction
C) the speed of an object in a particular direction
D) when an object changes position in relation to a reference point over a period of time

C) an SI unit used by scientists to express force
D) the object that stays in place in relation to an object that is moving
net force
  • 9. Net force
A) happens when a force causes an object to move in the direction of the force
B) when the net force of an object is NOT zero; it takes an unbalanced force to produce any change in motion
C) the force that results from combining all of the forces exerted on an object
D) when the forces applied to an object produce a net force of zero; balanced forces DO NOT cause any change in motion
  • 10. Unbalanced force
A) happens when a force causes an object to move in the direction of the force
B) when the forces applied to an object produce a net force of zero; balanced forces DO NOT cause any change in motion
C) when the net force of an object is NOT zero; it takes an unbalanced force to produce any change in motion
D) the force that results from combining all of the forces exerted on an object
balanced force
  • 11. Balanced force
A) happens when a force causes an object to move in the direction of the force
B) when the forces applied to an object produce a net force of zero; balanced forces DO NOT cause any change in motion
C) the force that results from combining all of the forces exerted on an object
D) when the net force of an object is NOT zero; it takes an unbalanced force to produce any change in motion
work
  • 12. Work
A) the force that results from combining all of the forces exerted on an object
B) happens when a force causes an object to move in the direction of the force
C) when the forces applied to an object produce a net force of zero; balanced forces DO NOT cause any change in motion
D) when the net force of an object is NOT zero; it takes an unbalanced force to produce any change in motion
Friction
  • 13. Friction
A) the amount of matter in an object; its value DOES NOT change because of gravity
B) the measure of gravitational forces exerted on an object; its value DOES change depending on gravity
C) the force of ATTRACTION between all objects that is due to their masses
D) a force that OPPOSES motion between two surfaces that are touching
gravity
  • 14. Gravity
A) the amount of matter in an object; its value DOES NOT change because of gravity
B) the force of ATTRACTION between all objects that is due to their masses
C) the measure of gravitational forces exerted on an object; its value DOES change depending on gravity
D) a force that OPPOSES motion between two surfaces that are touching
