Forces Can Change the State of Motion

  1. Q1: What do we call the act of bringing an object to rest using force?
    Answer: Stopping
    Explanation: Applying force in the opposite direction of motion can stop a moving object.
  2. Q2: What property of a moving object is changed when force is applied to speed it up?
    Answer: Speed
    Explanation: Force can increase or decrease the speed of an object depending on its direction.
  3. Q3: What kind of force is applied when a person slows down a bicycle?
    Answer: Braking
    Explanation: Braking force is applied to reduce the speed of the bicycle, hence changing its state of motion.
  4. Q4: What do we call the change in position of an object with time?
    Answer: Motion
    Explanation: An object is said to be in motion when its position changes over time, which force can initiate or alter.
  5. Q5: Which force is responsible when a football changes direction after being kicked from the side?
    Answer: Applied
    Explanation: The applied force alters the direction of the football’s motion.
  6. Q6: What can a force change besides the speed of an object?
    Answer: Direction
    Explanation: A force can also change the direction of motion, not just speed.
  7. Q7: What state is an object in when it is neither moving nor changing position?
    Answer: Rest
    Explanation: An object at rest remains stationary until a force is applied to set it in motion.
  8. Q8: What term describes an object that starts moving due to a force?
    Answer: Accelerated
    Explanation: When a force causes an object to begin moving or speed up, it is said to be accelerated.
  9. Q9: What is the result when force causes a stationary object to begin moving?
    Answer: Motion
    Explanation: The force overcomes inertia and sets the object in motion.
  10. Q10: What kind of change is observed in a moving object after a collision?
    Answer: Direction
    Explanation: Collisions involve forces that typically change the direction (and sometimes speed) of the object.
