Forces Test PDF

1) The document appears to be a physics test containing multiple choice and short answer questions about forces, Newton's laws of motion, momentum, and Hooke's law. 2) Questions cover topics like types of forces involved in different situations, the differences between mass and weight, calculating weight and mass on different planets, Hooke's law, proportional limit, momentum problems using p=mv, and Newton's three laws of motion. 3) Students are asked to identify action and reaction forces for examples and explain Newton's laws in their own words.
