CAST Practice Exam Questions with Correct Answers Complete Latest
2026/2027 GRADED A+
Compression (Elastic) - ANSWER Pushing force. it can be an upward force.
Tension (Elastic) - ANSWER Pulling force
Unbalanced forces - ANSWER Change in velocity
Balanced forces - ANSWER No Change in velocity
Velocity - ANSWER Speed and direction
Air Resistance - ANSWER Slows down objects in motion
Mass - ANSWER Amount of matter
unit is grams or kilograms
Sliding friction - ANSWER slows down sliding objects
Rolling friction - ANSWER slows down objects that are rolling
Static Friction - ANSWER objects that do not move due to the weight of the object on the surface of
another object
Fluid Friction - ANSWER when a solid surface moves through a fluid
Friction - ANSWER When two surfaces rub against each other slowing down the motion- heat is
produced
Acceleration - ANSWER When an object speeds up
unit is m/s/s
, Weight - ANSWER Gravity pushing down on the mass of an object causing weight. Weight is a
downward force.
Inertia - ANSWER Tendency to resist any change in motion
Potential Energy - ANSWER Energy that is stored.
Kinetic Energy - ANSWER Energy in motion.
Newton's 1st Law - ANSWER The law states that an object will stay at rest or continue in a straight
line unless an outside force acts on it. It is the same as Inertia.
Newton's Second Law - ANSWER Force equals mass multiplied by acceleration.
Newton's Third Law - ANSWER For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Speed - ANSWER How fast an object is moving. It is the distance divided by the time is takes to travel.
Normal force - ANSWER It is a force perpendicular to the surface.
It can be compression also.
Polarity - ANSWER the condition of having positive and negative charges and especially magnetic or
electrical poles
Attraction - ANSWER particles with opposite charges
Repulsion - ANSWER particles with the same charges
Potential energy - ANSWER type of stored energy an object has because of its position. A boulder on
top of a hill has a lot of potential energy because it could roll down pretty fast at any moment.
