True or false? A moment is a turning effect of a force.
Which of these are components of a lever?
Load
Work
Effort
Energy
Fulcrum
Force
Which of these is the correct equation for a moment?
Moment = force * distance from line of action
Moment = force * perpendicular distance from line of action
Moment = force/distance from line of action
Moment = force/perpendicular distance from line of action
True or false? The centre of mass is the point at which the object's weight can be thought to be concentrated.
True or false? If an object's centre of mass lies outside the point of suspension, the object is in equilibrium.
Where is the centre of mass in a symmetrical object with multiple lines of symmetry?
At a point on one of the lines of symmetry
At a point which is not on the lines of symmetry
At the point where the lines of symmetry meet
True or false? The sum of all clockwise moments is always greater than the sum of all anticlockwise moments about a single point in equilibrium.

Which of these decrease the stability of an object?
Wide base
Narrow base
Low centre of mass
High centre of mass
Which of these is the correct equation for pressure?
Pressure = force/area
Pressure = area/force
Pressure = force * area
True or false? The pressure in a liquid does not act equally over all directions.

600N
60N
0.67N
True or false? Centripetal acceleration acts towards the centre of a circle.
True or false? Centripetal force is a force in its own right.
Which of these will increase the centripetal force acting upon an object?

Increase in radius
Decrease in radius
What type of motion does a simple pendulum follow?
Reciprocating motion
Oscillating motion
True or false? The amplitude of a pendulum is the distance between the equilibrium position and the highest point on either side.
True or false? The time period of a pendulum is the time it takes to go from the highest point on one side to the other.
