Force and Motion Homework 5
Section A (9 marks)
For the following questions, choose ONE answer:
1. Newton’s third law of motion is based of action-reaction pairs. Which one of the following
options are an example of an action reaction pair?
a) A bottle in a car rolling in the opposite direction the car turns
b) The force in an accelerating object is opposite to the direction of travel
c) Two football players collide against each other and rebound in opposite directions
d) A ripened apple which falls off a branch of its tree

2. Newton’s second law of motion states that:

a) Every force of action will be paired with a force of reaction
b) Force are unbalanced allowing for a net force
c) The force of an object depends on mass and acceleration
d) A heavier object will have more resistance to changes in motion
3. A net force causes a 10 kg object to accelerate at 2 m/s2. What is the magnitude of the net
force?
a) 20 N
b) 40 N
c) 5 N
d) 200 N
4. A 2 kg ball was thrown at a brick wall to the left at 5m/s2 as shown in the diagram. What is
the magnitude and direction of the force causing the ball to bounce back?
a) 10 N 
b) 10 N 
c) 1000 N 
d) 1000 N 

5. Which pair of quantities are both vectors?
a) Force and speed
b) Mass and acceleration
c) Velocity and weight
d) Momentum and speed
6. A concrete block has a mass of 30 kg. Its weight in N is:

a) 294
b) 306
c) 0.294
d) 30
7. Inertia is the tendency of an object to:

a) Maintain constant mass
b) Maintain constant weight
c) Remain at rest or in constant motion
d) Stop motion
8. A ball in the boot of a car was free to move around. During a journey, it was annoyingly
bumping against the walls of the car. What best describes its motion if the car was stopped and
had been hit from behind?
a) The ball would jump up and forwards
b) The ball would not move in position, just jump
c) It would roll in circles but generally forwards
d) It would firstly roll backwards
9. Which of the following statements are TRUE regarding mass and weight?
a¶ Weight is a force whilst mass is a measure of inertia
b¶ Mass changes depending on gravity, weight does not
c¶ Heavier objects have more mass than lighter objects
d¶ Gravity is necessary to measure the force of a massive object
