C) Gravity
D) Tension
Task 5:
What happens when two forces act on an object in opposite directions and
are equal in strength?
A) The object moves faster
B) The object changes direction
C) The object stays still or keeps moving at the same speed
D) The object stops immediately
Task 6:

C) Magnetism
D) Upthrust
Task 7:
Is force a vector quantity?
A) No, it only has size
B) Yes, it has both size and direction

D) Yes, but only for magnets
Task 8:
What tool is commonly used to measure force in a science lab?
A) Thermometer
B) Ruler
C) Spring scale
D) Stopwatch
Task 9:
If you pull a wagon with more force, what will likely happen?
A) It will move slower
B) It will stop moving
C) It will accelerate or speed up
D) It will change color
Task 10:
Which of the following is an example of a non-contact force?
A) Pushing a door open
B) Kicking a ball
C) A magnet attracting a paperclip
D) Dragging a box across the floor
Answer Key:
Task 1: B) A push or a pull acting on an object
Explanation: A force is simply defined as a push or a pull that can cause
an object to move, stop, or change direction.
Why other options are incorrect:
A) Energy is the ability to do work, not the push or pull itself.
C) Speed describes how fast something moves, not the force causing it.
D) Color is a physical property unrelated to force.
Task 2: C) Newtons
Explanation: The standard scientific unit for measuring force is the Newton
(N).
Why other options are incorrect:
A) Kilograms measure mass.
B) Meters measure distance or length.
D) Seconds measure time.
Task 3: B) A push
Explanation: Kicking involves applying force away from your body to move
the ball forward, which is a push.
Why other options are incorrect:
A) A pull would involve drawing the object toward you.
C) Gravity is the force pulling the ball down, not the force of the kick.
D) Magnetism is a specific force involving magnetic fields, not kicking.
Task 4: C) Gravity
Explanation: Gravity is the invisible force that attracts objects with mass
toward each other, specifically pulling things toward Earth's center.
Why other options are incorrect:
A) Friction opposes motion between surfaces.
B) Magnetism attracts magnetic materials, not all objects.
D) Tension is a pulling force transmitted through a string or rope.
Task 5: C) The object stays still or keeps moving at the same speed
Explanation: When forces are balanced (equal and opposite), they cancel
each other out, resulting in no change in motion.
Why other options are incorrect:
A) The object would only move faster if the forces were unbalanced.
B) A change in direction requires an unbalanced force.
D) The object does not necessarily stop; it maintains its current state of
motion.
Task 6: B) Friction
Explanation: Friction is the force that resists motion when two surfaces
slide or rub against one another.
Why other options are incorrect:
A) Gravity pulls objects downward, not specifically against sliding motion.
C) Magnetism acts on magnetic materials, not generally on rubbing
surfaces.
D) Upthrust is an upward force exerted by a fluid.
Task 7: B) Yes, it has both size and direction
Explanation: Force is a vector because you must know both how strong
the push or pull is (size) and where it is going (direction).
Why other options are incorrect:
A) Forces have direction, so saying they only have size is wrong.
C) Forces have size (magnitude), so saying they only have direction is
wrong.
D) All forces, not just magnetic ones, have both size and direction.
Task 8: C) Spring scale
Explanation: A spring scale measures force by how much a spring
stretches when a force is applied.
Why other options are incorrect:
A) A thermometer measures temperature.
B) A ruler measures length.
D) A stopwatch measures time.
Task 9: C) It will accelerate or speed up
Explanation: According to Newton's laws, applying a greater net force to
an object causes it to accelerate more.
Why other options are incorrect:
A) More force causes faster acceleration, not slower.
B) More force causes motion to increase, not stop.
D) Force affects motion, not the physical appearance like color.
Task 10: C) A magnet attracting a paperclip
Explanation: Non-contact forces act over a distance without touching;
magnetism works without the magnet touching the clip.
Why other options are incorrect:
A) Pushing a door requires direct contact.
B) Kicking a ball requires direct contact.
D) Dragging a box requires direct contact.
