NGSS.MS-PS2-4

Tendency of an object to resist any change in its motion.

• inertia

• gravity

• free fall

• terminal velocity

If I step off a boat with a force of 500 Newtons, how much force is the boat pushed back with (assuming I have a mass of 75 kg and the boat has a mass of 4,000 kg).

• 500 Newtons

• 75 Newtons

• 80 Newtons

• 37,500 Newtons
