Forces and Motion Worksheet

Forces and motion diagram

📚 Part 1: Multiple Choice

1. Which of the following is NOT a type of force?

Friction

Gravity

Speed

Magnetic force

2. Newton's First Law states that:

Force = mass × acceleration

Objects at rest stay at rest unless acted upon by a force

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction

Heavier objects fall faster

3. Which forces act on a book resting on a table? (Tick all that apply)

Weight (gravity)

Normal force from table

Friction

Air resistance

4. What happens to acceleration when force increases but mass stays the same?

Acceleration decreases

Acceleration increases

Acceleration stays the same

Acceleration becomes zero

🔢 Part 2: Calculations

5. A car travels 120 metres in 8 seconds. Calculate its speed.

Formula: Speed = Distance ÷ Time

Speed = __________ m/s

6. Calculate the force needed to accelerate a 50 kg object at 4 m/s².

Formula: Force = Mass × Acceleration

Force = __________ N

7. A cyclist accelerates from rest to 12 m/s in 6 seconds. What is their acceleration?

Formula: Acceleration = Change in velocity ÷ Time

Acceleration = __________ m/s²

✏️ Part 3: Short Answers

8. Explain Newton's Third Law using the example of walking.
9. A parachutist reaches terminal velocity. Explain what this means in terms of forces.
10. Give two examples of friction being useful and two examples of friction being a problem.
