Free Force, Work and Energy 01 Practice Test - 4th Grade 

Question 1

If a ball is thrown up, after reaching a particular height it will come back due to:

A.

Force of gravity

B.

Magnetic force

C.

Frictional force

D.

Normal force

SOLUTION

Solution : A

Due to the gravitational force of Earth, every object is attracted towards the earth. Therefore the ball will be attracted towards the centre of  the earth, so it will come back. If there was no gravity on Earth then the ball if thrown up, will never come back.

Question 2

What are the two main types of forces?

A.

Melting, Solid

B.

Warm, Cold

C.

Spring, Flow

D.

Contact, Non-Contact

SOLUTION

Solution : D

The two main types of forces are contact and non-contact forces.

Question 3

What would happen if there were no gravity on earth?

A.

Everything would sink into the ocean.

B.

An object would never return if thrown up.

C.

We won't be able to throw any object.

D. Everything would break.

SOLUTION

Solution : B

The gravitational force of Earth keeps everything binded on the surface. If we throw any object in the absence of gravity, it would fly-off forever.

Question 4

The force of gravity pushes objects away from the centre of the Earth.

A.

True

B.

False

SOLUTION

Solution : B

The force of gravity pulls objects towards the centre of the Earth.

Question 5

A magnet attracting iron pins is an example of  ______.

A.

gravitational force

B.

magnetic force

C.

metallic force

D.

upward pull

SOLUTION

Solution : B

A  magnet attracting iron pins is an example of magnetic force.

Question 6

A moving ball on the ground comes to a stop after some time because of ___.

A.

speed

B.

friction

C.

motion

D.

magnetism

SOLUTION

Solution : B

Friction always acts opposite to the motion. Hence, a moving ball on the ground comes to a stop after some time because of friction.

Question 7

A ball is kept on an inclined plane. The ball is not moving due to:

A.

magnetic force

B.

electrostatic force 

C.

gravity

D.

friction

SOLUTION

Solution : D

The ball is not moving and remains motionless due to the force of friction as friction opposes the motion.

Question 8

When a force causes displacement of an object, ___ is done.

A.

gravity

B.

speed

C.

energy

D.

work

SOLUTION

Solution : D

Work is said to be done when a force applied on an object moves that object. Work is calculated by multiplying the force applied on the object to the movement or displacement of the object.

Question 9

The capacity to do work is called ____.

A.

motion

B.

energy

C.

speed

D.

distance

SOLUTION

Solution : B

Energy is the capacity to work. 

Question 10

Force is defined as a ___ or ____ that can cause an object to move, remain in place or change its shape.

A.

attraction, repulsion

B.

push, pull

C.

squeeze, pull

D.

spring, break

SOLUTION

Solution : B

A force is defined as a push or pull that can cause an object to move, remain in place or change its shape.
