Force and Motion 2

the speed and direction of an object is known as its

• velocity
• momentum
• inertia
• mass

The distance an object can travel in a specific amount of time is its

• motion
• position
• speed
• inertia

the amount of matter an object has is its

• velocity
• mass
• inertia
• momentum

An increase in speed or a change in velocity is

• force
• momentum
• acceleration
• balanced forces

The change in the position of an object is

• direction
• momentum
• friction
• motion

Equal forces acting in opposition to each other where no movement is created is a

• balanced force
• unbalanced force
• position time graph
• direction

The tendency of an object that is at rest to stay at rest or if in motion to stay in motion is 

• momentum
• inertia
• speed
• velocity

A measure of the force of gravity on an object

• mass
• weight
• volume
• positions

Gravity is greater for a boulder falling than for a book falling.
