Is force a vector or scalar quantity?
Vector
Force has both
magnitude
and direction.
True
The length of the arrow in a vector diagram represents its
magnitude
Match the unit of force with its description:
Newton ↔️ A derived SI unit equal to 1 kg·m/s²
kg·m/s² ↔️ Force that accelerates a 1 kg mass at 1 m/s²
Scalar quantities have both magnitude and direction.
False
Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its
state of motion
.
True
In Newton's Second Law, F represents
force
An external force is required to change an object's
state of motion
.
True
Newton's Second Law of Motion states that force equals mass times
acceleration
Acceleration is measured in meters per second
squared
Scalars only have magnitude and no
direction
Inertia
is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of
motion
Force is measured in Newtons, which is equivalent to kg·m/s².
True
Newton's Third Law states that for every action there is an
equal
and opposite reaction.
True
What is the key principle of Newton's Third Law of Motion (Action-Reaction)?
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
On which objects do action and reaction forces act?
Different objects
Force is measured in
Newtons
Vectors are represented using arrow
diagrams
What is the derived SI unit for force equivalent to 1 kg·m/s²?
Newton
The direction of the arrow in a vector diagram represents the force's
direction
Newton's First Law is also known as the Law of
Inertia
The unit for acceleration in Newton's Second Law is
m/s²
.
True
Why is velocity considered a vector quantity?
It has magnitude and direction
What is the mathematical expression for Newton's Second Law?

A 5 kg box is pushed with a force of 10 N. What is its acceleration?
2 m/s²
Match the physical quantity with its type:
Force ↔️ Vector
Mass ↔️ Scalar
Match the term with its definition:
Inertia ↔️ Resistance to change in motion
External Force ↔️ Force that causes motion to change
Acceleration is a
vector
Action and reaction forces have equal magnitude but opposite
direction
The action and reaction forces have the same
magnitude
Newton's Third Law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite
reaction
Force is a vector quantity that represents a push or
pull
Scalar quantities have both magnitude and direction.
False
What is force measured in?
Newtons (N)
What two characteristics do vectors have?
Magnitude and direction
Newton's First Law states that an object will remain at rest or in motion unless acted upon by an external
force
Newton's Second Law states that force equals mass times
acceleration
