Question 1:
The correct answer is:
B. newtons (N)
A. joules (J) → unit of energy
C. watts (W) → unit of power
D. m/s → unit of velocity
Explanation:
Force is measured in newtons (named after Isaac Newton). From Newton's second law:
Mass (kg) × acceleration (m/s²) gives kg·m/s², which is defined as 1 newton (N).

Question 2:
The correct answer is:
A. force = mass × acceleration
This is Newton's second law of motion.
B → incorrect (mass × force doesn't give acceleration)
C → incorrect (weight is already a force; weight = mass × gravity, not used that way here)
D → incorrect (weight × force has no physical meaning here)

Question 3:
We use Newton's second law:
F=m×aGiven:
m=2 kg
a=4 m/s2
The correct answer is D. 8 N.

Question 4:
We use Newton's second law:
F=m×a ⇒ a=F/mGiven:
F=3 N
m=100 g=0.1 kg (remember to convert to kg for SI units)
The correct answer is A. 30 m/s².

Question 5:
The correct answer is:
C. His mass was the same but his weight was less.
Explanation:
Mass is the amount of matter in an object and does not change with location.
Weight is the force of gravity on an object and depends on the local gravitational field strength.
On the Moon, gravity is about 1/6 of Earth's, so Buzz Aldrin's weight was less, but his mass remained unchanged.
A is incorrect — he was not weightless; the Moon still has gravity, just less than Earth's.
B is incorrect — his mass did not become zero.
D is incorrect — his weight was less, not the same.

Question 6:
The correct answer is:
D. amount of matter (kg) / Pull of gravity (N)
Explanation:
Mass = amount of matter in an object → measured in kilograms (kg)
Weight = pull of gravity on an object → measured in newtons (N)
The other options mix up the definitions and units incorrectly.

Question 7:
The correct answer is:
A. weight = mass × gravitational field strength (W = m × g)
B is incorrect — weight is mass × g, not mass ÷ g.
C is incorrect — that rearranges to W = m/g if solved for weight, which is wrong.
D is incorrect — that would give mass = g/W, which is not correct.
So A is the standard formula relating weight and mass.
