As the mass of an object is increased, what happens to its inertia?

mass and inertia is not related

A ball is rolling down a level sidewalk. As it roll, it slows down and stops. Why?

Frictional force acts on the ball to stop it.

Continued motion requires a force.

The net force on a moving ball is always zero.

The force that started it moving was taken away.

A ball with a mass of 1 kg is moving in a straight line at the same speed as a ball with a mass of 10 kg. Both balls are brought to rest in 4.0 seconds. What is true of the force required to stop the balls?

It takes less force to stop the 1 kilogram ball because it has less inertia.

It takes more force to stop the 1 kilogram ball because it has more inertia.

It takes the same force to stop both balls because they moving at the same speed.

It takes less force to stop the 10 kilogram ball because it has less inertia.

A 0.15-kilogram baseball and a 7.25-kilogram bowling ball are both rolling along at 3 m/s. Which object is easier to stop and why?

The baseball because it has less inertia

The bowling ball because it has less inertia

The baseball because it has more inertia

The bowling ball because heavy objects are naturally prone to stop on their own

Compare the inertia and momentum of a 0.15-kilogram baseball moving at 50 m/s with the inertia and momentum of a 7.25-kilogram bowling ball moving at 1 m/s.

The bowling ball has more inertia, but the baseball has more momentum.

The baseball has more inertia, but the bowling ball has more momentum

The baseball has both more inertia and more momentum

The bowling ball has both more inertia and more momentum

A cart is rolling down a special ramp where there is no friction at all. What will happen if the amount of mass on the cart is increased?

The cart’s acceleration will not be affected

The cart will move at a constant velocity

Cheung pushes on a toy car, and it accelerates at 0.22 meters per second per minute. Carlos pushes on the same toy car with twice as much force as Cheung. Compare the acceleration when Carlos pushes the car to when Cheung pushes the car.

The acceleration is twice as much.

The acceleration is 1/4 as much

The acceleration is 1/2 as much.

A sled sliding on a flat, icy surface with a constant velocity is best described by

Newton’s first law of motion for objects in motion.

Newton’s first law of motion for objects at rest.

Newton’s second law of motion.

Newton’s third law of motion.

A person steps out of the boat and onto the dock. As the person moves forward onto the dock, the boat moves backward. Which statement best describes the backward motion of the boat as the person steps forward?

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Every mass exerts a force on every other mass.

An object at rest tends to stay at rest.

Friction opposes the motion of an object.

A person not paying attention while skateboarding hits a rock. The skateboard stops...they don't.
