Question

a measurement that includes a magnitude and direction.
a newton
b scalar
c vector
d component
question 4 (1 point)
the type of force that stretches an object.
a compression
b tension
c shear
d torsion
question 5 (1 point)
what can happen to an object when a force acts upon it?
a stay still
b move
c change shape
d all of the above

Explanation:

• For the first question, a vector is defined as a measurement with magnitude and direction. A newton is a unit of force, a scalar has only magnitude, and a component is part of a vector in a particular direction.
• For the second question, tension is the force that stretches an object. Compression squeezes an object, shear is a force that causes layers to slide past each other, and torsion is a twisting force.
• For the third question, when a force acts on an object, it can stay still (if balanced forces), move (if unbalanced forces), or change shape (deformation due to force).

Answer:

• Question 3: C. vector
• Question 4: B. tension
• Question 5: D. all of the above
