Bridge Course Physics

This document contains 15 physics questions with multiple choice answers about concepts like force, gravity, displacement, velocity, acceleration, and inertia. Key topics covered include: - Force is a vector quantity and the gravitational force pulls objects toward Earth. - The center of mass of a uniform rod is at its center. - Magnitude expresses the strength of a force. A non-contact force is one like magnetism. - Displacement may be equal to distance travelled, while velocity gives speed. - Slope of a velocity-time graph gives acceleration and slope of a displacement-time graph gives velocity. - Inertia is the property by which an object cannot change its state of rest
