Question 1: True or False? A force is a push or pull acting on an object. Question 2: True or False? A contact force does not need to touch the object that they push or pull.
Question 3: True or False? Gravity and Friction are two common action-at-a-distance forces.
Question 4: True or False? Mass is the amount of matter inside any given object, and does not change as a result of gravity.
Question 5: True or False? 9.8 N/kg is called Earth's gravitational field strength. Question 6: True or False? The most common way to measure force is by using a Newton Spring Scale.
Weight vs Mass Practice Questions
1. Choose either the word "mass" or "weight" to correctly finish the sentence. a) If gravity changes, the mass/weight of the object would change too. b) The mass/weight of an object would not change if the gravity changes. c) A newton (N) is the unit to measure mass/weight. d) A kilogram (kg) is the unit to measure mass/weight.
2. Calculate the weights of these masses if they were located on Earth. a) 23 kg b) 65 kg c) 92 kg d) 174 kg 3. An object has a mass of 9.0 kg on the surface on the Moon. What would the object's:
a) Mass be on Earth? b) Force of Gravity on Earth?
