SCIENCE 8 ANSWER SHEET

I. Fill in the blanks with correct word/s.
1. Any push or pull is called ________________.
2. ________________ refers to the size or strength of the force while ________________ points to
where the object goes. The direction of the arrowhead indicates the direction of the force. The length of
the arrow represents the amount of force (relative magnitude).
3. There are two types of forces, namely ________________ and ________________.
4. Applied, friction, normal and tensional forces are examples of ________________ forces.
5. Gravitational and magnetic forces are examples of ________________ forces.
6. ________________ are forces that are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.
7. ________________ are forces that cause a change in the motion of an object.
8. The sum of all forces acting in an object is called ________________.
9. If the forces in an object are balanced, the net force is ________________.
10. If the forces in an object are unbalanced, the net force is ________________.

____________ is the tendency of an

object to resist any change in its
initial
state. If it is initially at rest, it
tends to remain at
____________. On the
other hand, if it is initially
moving at constant velocity, it
tends to
continue moving unless acted upon
by a ____________
