FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What role does friction play in motion?

Back

Friction is a force that opposes the motion of an object. It can cause an object to slow down or stop, as seen when a baseball player slides into second base.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Which object has the largest inertia: a pen, a bowling ball, a bicycle, or a car?

Back

A car has the largest inertia because it has the greatest mass among the options.

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

If an object has twice the mass of another object, what can be said about its inertia?

Back

The object with twice the mass will also have twice the inertia.

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How does mass affect inertia?

Back

Inertia is directly proportional to mass; the greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Can Newton's First Law apply to nonmoving objects?

Back

Yes, Newton's First Law applies to both moving and nonmoving objects.
