Inertia and Motion

A change in an object's position is called ______.

• Speed
• Motion
• Velocity
• Friction

The tendency of an object to resist change in motion.

• Force
• Motion
• Friction
• Inertia

____ is a force that occurs when an object rubs against another object.

• Motion
• Friction
• Velocity
• Speed

_____ is an object’s speed in a given direction.

• Friction
• Motion
• Speed
• Velocity

____ is the distance traveled divided by the time of travel.

• Velocity
• Speed
• Mass
• Volume

Jasmyn can run 50 yards in 10 seconds and Jaylah can run 100 yards in 20 seconds. Who has a faster speed? (speed is distance divided by time; S = d/t)

• Jasmyn
• Jaylah
• Both have the same speed.

An object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force.

• Newton's First Law of Motion
• Newton's Second Law of Motion
• Newton's Third Law of Motion

• Newton's Second Law of Motion
• Newton's Third Law of Motion
• Newton's Fourth Law of Motion

____ means that an object in motion will stay in motion in the same direction, or it will stay at rest,  unless another force acts upon it.
