Objects & Motion Quiz

Force is:

• The change in position of an object over time

• The total amount of force on an object

• The amount of matter in an object

• The effect of gravitational force on the mass of an object

• A push or pull on an object that puts it in motion

Gravity is:

• A branch of science that deals with matter, energy, motion, and force

• A stationary object that can be compared to when there is a change in position

• A force that opposes motion; can cause an object to slow or stop

• Tendency of an object to resist change in motion. A property of matter

• Force of attraction between two objects due to their masses

Inertia is:

• A branch of science that deals with matter, energy, motion, and force

• A stationary object that can be compared to when there is a change in position

• A force that opposes motion; can cause an object to slow or stop

• Tendency of an object to resist change in motion. A property of matter

• Force of attraction between two objects due to their masses

Friction is:

• A branch of science that deals with matter, energy, motion, and force

• A stationary object that can be compared to when there is a change in position

• A force that opposes motion; can cause an object to slow or stop

• Tendency of an object to resist change in motion. A property of matter

• Force of attraction between two objects due to their masses
