FORCE AND MOTION QUIZ REVIEW Quiz Date: ______________

This quiz will cover some of the information that we talked about from our Force & Motion unit so far. It will
consist of some multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, and short answer questions (including drawing free body
diagrams). To prepare you should review DQs, handouts, your Mind Map, and concepts from labs we’ve done.
Make sure you can successfully hit these learning targets:
 I can define motion and describe the difference between speed, velocity, and acceleration.
 I can interpret a scenario to calculate the speed, velocity, and acceleration using the correct units of
measure.
 I can define force, give examples of forces, and interpret how forces impact motion.
 I can draw and interpret free body diagrams.

1. Which of the following is an example of acceleration?


A. a boat speeding up C. a jogger slowing down
B. a wind turbine spinning at a constant speed D. all of the above
2. If one person pulls a heavy couch to the left and another person pushes it in the same direction, then:
A. the couch will not move C. the net force will be greater than the force exerted by one person
