Hint: after correcting the problems, use this sheet as study guide by folding it down the
middle and quizzing yourself!

Match the unit to its appropriate type of measurement:

1. _____ Acceleration A. newtons (N)
2. _____ Distance B. seconds (sec.)
3. _____ Force C. meters (m)
4. _____ Mass D. kilograms (kg)
5. _____ Power E. joules (J)
6. _____ Time F. watts (W)
7. _____ Work G. meters per second squared (m/s2)

3 m/s2. How much force does the
object have?

2. Suzy, who weighs 500 N, climbs a

ladder that is 5 m high. How much
