Answer:

Explanation:

1. Mass is a measure of the force of gravity on an object. ___false__

2. Most objects have at least two forces acting on them at all times. __True___   ( because of presence of reaction  force or friction force )

3. If opposing forces are unequal in strength, the net force is less than zero. __false___

4. The SI unit for weight is the newton. _true____

5. When two forces act on an object in the same direction, the net force equals zero. _____ false

6. When forces act in opposite directions on an object, they are subtracted to yield the net force. ___true__

7. Every sport involves forces. _true____

8. Forces are always balanced when they act on an object in the same direction. __false___

9. Whenever an object is stationary, it has no forces acting on it. _false____ ( it may have two equal and opposing force acting on it )

10. Two forces acting in the same direction always result in a stronger force.

true  ( they add up )
