When does acceleration happen?

• When an object speeds up

• When an object slows down

• When an object keeps doing what it is already doing

• When an object changes direction

Which of these explains why we wear seatbelts?

• The seatbelt is the balanced force that stops you

• The seatbelt is the unbalanced force that slows you down

• The seatbelt is the unbalanced force that keeps you in motion

• The seatbelt is the balanced force that keeps you in motion

Why would does driving a large truck use more gasoline than driving a small Honda?

• Honda has less mass so you have to less more force to make it accelerate

• Truck has more mass so you have to use more force to make it accelerate

• Truck has less mass so you have to use more force to make it accelerate

• Honda has less mass so you have to use more force to make it accelerate
