1. What is the SI unit of force?

A) kg
B) N
C) m/s
D) J

Answer: B) N
Explanation: The SI unit of force is newton (N), named after Sir Isaac Newton.

2. Force can:
A) Only start a motion
B) Only stop a motion
C) Change the shape, direction, or state of motion of a body
D) Only change the direction of motion

Answer: C) Change the shape, direction, or state of motion of a body


Explanation: A force can start, stop, or change the speed or direction of motion, and also
change the shape of an object.

3. A force is a:
A) Scalar quantity
B) Physical quantity with only magnitude
C) Vector quantity
D) Constant quantity

Answer: C) Vector quantity


Explanation: Force has both magnitude and direction, so it is a vector quantity.

4. Which of the following situations involves contact force?


A) A magnet attracting a nail
B) Earth pulling an object down
C) A bat hitting a ball
D) A charged comb attracting paper bits

Answer: C) A bat hitting a ball


Explanation: Contact force requires physical contact; others are non-contact forces
(magnetic, gravitational, electrostatic).
5. Two boys push a box from opposite sides with forces of 10 N and 6 N
respectively. What is the net force on the box?
A) 4 N
B) 16 N
C) 60 N
D) 0 N

Answer: A) 4 N
Explanation: Net force = 10 N (right) – 6 N (left) = 4 N towards right

6. What is the effect of applying a force on a rubber ball?


A) Only motion
B) Only heat
C) Only shape change
D) It may change both shape and motion

Answer: D) It may change both shape and motion


Explanation: Force on a rubber ball can cause it to move and deform (change shape).

7. What happens if balanced forces act on an object?


A) It moves faster
B) It changes direction
C) It remains at rest or in uniform motion
D) It accelerates

Answer: C) It remains at rest or in uniform motion


Explanation: Balanced forces cancel each other, resulting in no change in motion.

8. A force of 25 N is applied to a box. How much force is needed to balance


it?
A) 25 N in same direction
B) 0 N
C) 25 N in opposite direction
D) 50 N in opposite direction

Answer: C) 25 N in opposite direction


Explanation: To balance the force, apply equal and opposite force: 25 N opposite.
9. Which of the following is NOT a non-contact force?
A) Magnetic force
B) Gravitational force
C) Frictional force
D) Electrostatic force

Answer: C) Frictional force


Explanation: Friction occurs only when two surfaces are in contact, so it is a contact force.

10. If a force of 10 N is applied to a 2 kg object, what is its acceleration?


A) 2 m/s²
B) 5 m/s²
C) 10 m/s²
D) 20 m/s²

Answer: B) 5 m/s²
Explanation:
Using Newton’s second law:
Acceleration = Force / Mass = 10 N / 2 kg = 5 m/s²
