Mr Byrnes' force challenge

So you think you are all geniuses do you? You think we dont need to study anymore? We can pack up our books and just do practical experiments? I have designed this quiz just to find out how much you all already know.

Well lets find out if you can put your money where your mouth is. Take this quiz, reach the platinum level and you have your wish. Only achieve the bronze level however, and all your bottoms are mine. We will be studying for a very long time!

1. What is your age?
Under 18 Years Old
18 to 24 Years Old
25 to 30 Years Old
31 to 40 Years Old
41 to 50 Years Old
51 to 60 Years Old
Over 60 Years Old
2. What is your gender?
Male
Female
3. You are driving on the freeway when you see a police car on the side of the road. Your speedometer broke, so you don't know how fast you are going. What formula should you use to find out your speed?
distance / time
time / speed
speed x distance
time x distance
4. You want to measure how fast an object is moving. Which unit of measurement is appropriate for measuring speed?
km/h
mile/minute
m/s/s
m/h
5. You are looking for a car and come across one that says it has a zero to sixty acceleration in one second. You remember the meaning of acceleration, but forget the formula. How do you calculate acceleration?
time taken / change in distance
change in speed / change in distance
change in distance / speed
change in speed / time taken
6. The car dealer tells you that a car has an acceleration of 40. You ask yourself, "Forty what?" What is the *standard* unit of measurement for acceleration?
N/kg
m/s/s
km/h
m/s
7. You want to find out how to measure force, but you don't know how. You check it up on the internet and find out that it is?
mass x speed
speed x acceleration
mass x acceleration
mass x gravity
8. Which of the four forces is used to overcome friction?
upwards push
gravity
thrust
resistance forces
9. You wish to work out how much acceleration a football had after you kicked it with a force of 100N over a distance of 50m, which formula would you use?
f = m x s
d = s x t
f = m x a
w = m x g
10. Which would you say would be the best definition for a force?
A push or a pull that can change the motion of a body
An unbalanced push that makes an object go faster
A balanced object that does not speed up or slow down
something that makes an object speed up or slow down
11. Which of the following is not a non-contact force:
magnetic force
electrostatic force
fluid friction
gravitational force
12. In 1687 Isaac newton invented his first law of motion. It states that:
An object will remain in motion until a balanced force is acted upon it
An object will not change its speed or direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force
An object will remain at rest, or will not change its speed or direction unless acted upon by a balanced force
An object will remain in a constant state of motion until acted upon by an unbalanced force
13. The definition for friction states that:
firction is the force resulting from the thrust of an object and then being slowed down by resistance forces
friction is the force resulting from the movement of one surface over another
friction is the force resulting from the movement of an object through gravity
friction is the force resulting from the resitance forces slowing down an object
14. which of the following is the correct order of subheadings when writing a report:
hypothesis, aim, materials, method, diagram, results, discussion
aim, hypothesis, materials, diagram, method, results, discussion
hypothesis, aim, materials, method, results, diagram, discussion
aim, hypothesis, materials, method, diagram, results, discussion
15. if you were to run a race and wanted to know what your instantaneous speed was, what would you measure?
your average speed during the entire race
your speed at one specific point in time
your speed taken at 5 metre intervals
your acceleration taken at 5 metre intervals
16. If i were to look up acceleration in the dictionary, it would say:
the positive change in the rate at which an object is moving
the positive decrease at which the object is moving
the increase in rate of speed over a specific distance
the positive change in distance per km of speed
17. Your mum asks you what your weight was, what units would you reply in?
kg
N
N/kg
N/m
18. How many formulas have we studied so far during this term?
3
4
5
6
19. If i dropped a ball off a balcony, which type of friction would slow it down the most?
fluid friction
rolling friction
sliding friction
all of the above
20. dimples on a golf ball are used to:
reduce the amount of fluid friction
increase the amount of fluid friction
reduce the amount of rolling friction
increase the amount of rolling friction
