Chapter 2: Review of Forces and Moments Quiz

• A force is the resistance to motion.
• A force is the visible interaction between two objects.
• A force is the energy stored in an object.
• A force quantifies the tendency of objects to move towards their preferred configuration. (correct)

• By directly seeing the force.
• By measuring the force's energy.
• By analyzing the force's color.
• By observing its effect on objects. (correct)

• $F = kx$, where $F$ is the force, $k$ is the spring constant, and $x$ is the displacement.
• $F = \frac{mv^2}{r}$, where $F$ is the force, $m$ is the mass, $v$ is the velocity, and $r$ is the radius.
• $F = m/v$, where $F$ is the force, $m$ is the mass, and $v$ is the velocity.
• $F = ma$, where $F$ is the force, $m$ is the mass, and $a$ is the acceleration. (correct)
