Dynamics Quiz 2

18 Questions

Quiz Description

In the previous quiz on dynamics, we were mainly looking at resultant forces. Here, we are going to continue by going further into the application of Newton’s third law, calculation of resultant force, etc. In a nutshell, this quiz also covers a great section of dynamics, thus, answering the two quizzes correctly is a guarantee of your success in answering dynamic questions correctly.

Dynamics is another branch of mechanics, and it is concerned with the study of forces and their relationship with motion and equilibrium. Unlike kinematics, dynamics is further divided into two types: linear and rotational dynamics. Linear dynamics studies the motion of bodies in a straight line, whereas Rotational dynamics studies the motion of bodies in a circular or curved path. We’ve heard of forces, what is a force?

A force is a push or a pull exerted on a body, and there are two categories of forces which are action-at-a-distance force, and contact force.

Dynamics is a very important topic that should be mastered to the fingertips. For this reason, this quiz, and other A level Physics quizzes are available on this platform for you to train yourself to understand better. Wish you the best as you solve the problems!
