ANSWER KEY GRADE 7

1. Force is a visible strength that can be seen when applied to an object.


False – Force is an invisible strength.
2. A newton is the standard unit of measuring force.
True
3. A spring scale is a common tool used to measure force.
True
4. Contact forces act without physical touch between objects.
False – Contact forces require physical touch.
5. Gravity, magnetism, and electrostatic forces are examples of non-contact forces.
True
6. Force can change the shape of an object.
True
7. One effect of force is to keep a stationary object in place.
False – Force can set a stationary object into motion.

8. Balanced forces acting on an object do not change its motion.


True
9. Unbalanced forces always cause a change in the motion of an object.
True
10. When forces are balanced, the net force on the object is greater than zero.
False – The net force is zero for balanced forces.
11. Motion refers to the change in position of an object over time relative to a point of
reference.
True
12. Displacement is always equal to or greater than the distance traveled by an object.
False – Displacement is the shortest distance between two points, which can be less than
the total distance traveled.
13. Speed is measured as distance per unit of time, while velocity includes both speed
and direction.
True
14. A car moving at 60 km/hr northward has a velocity but no speed.
False – It has both speed (60 km/hr) and velocity (speed with direction).
15. Acceleration refers to the change in speed only.
False – Acceleration is the change in velocity per unit of time, which includes both speed
and direction.
16. When an object is dropped from a height, its speed increases as it falls due to
acceleration.
True
17. If a ball is tossed upward, its speed increases as it moves higher.
False – The speed decreases until it momentarily stops at the peak.
