Unit Test Answer Key

This document is a second grade force and motion unit test with multiple choice, true/false, fill in the blank, and short answer questions. The test covers key concepts like gravity, Newton's first law of motion, examples of inclined planes, levers, and pulleys. It assesses students' understanding of definitions for force, effort, load, and reaction, as well as examples of how inclined planes and pulleys can be used to move heavy objects with less effort.

Second Grade Force and Motion Unit Test

Name:_______________________________________ Date:____________________________

Multiple Choice
Directions: For #1-5 Circle the Correct Answer

1. What is the definition of "gravity”?


a. A force that pushes something
b. A force that pulls down on Earth
c. Anything that takes up space
d. A weighted object

2. What is an example of Newton’s First Law of Motion?

“An object at rest will stay at rest, unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.”

a. Kicking a soccer ball at rest to make it move


b. A ball rolling down the hill on its own
c. Writing your name on a sheet of paper
d. Apply more force to heavy objects

3. Which of the following is an example of an incline plane?


a. A flagpole
b. A seesaw
c. A wheelchair ramp
d. A school desk

4. What is the definition of “effort”?


a. The object the lever is lifting.
b. The force applied to make the object move.
c. The point where the lever balances.
d. The tool used to move a heavy load.

5. What is an example of a pulley and why?


a. A wheelbarrow because you can pull or push it to move it.
b. A seesaw because it balances on a point.
c. Gravitational pull on the Earth
d. A drawbridge because it uses wheels and ropes to make it move.
True/False
For #6-8 Circle the Correct Answer

6. Force is defined as a push or a pull.

a. True b. False

7. An incline ramp is positioned on an angle that goes down in direction.

a. True b. False

8. The fulcrum is the point where the lever balances.

a. True b. False

Fill in the Blank


Directions: For #9-12 Fill in the blank spaces with a word that best completes the sentence.

Load Incline plane Action Object Reaction Still Slow Wedge

9. “At rest” means to be still or not moving.

10. The load is the object that the lever is lifting.

11. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

12. A Wedge is an example of an incline plane.

Short Answer
Directions: For #13-14 Write a brief response to each question.

13. What happens when you apply force to an object to make it move?

The object will move faster when you apply more force.

14. Do you think incline planes are important tools, why or why not?

Yes, because they help us move objects that are too heavy
