Once an object is in its natural resting place, can it move by itself?

• Yes
• No

For an object to start moving, a force has to act on it.

• Always
• Sometimes
• Never

Whether an object is moving or at rest, it resists any change in its motion.

• Always
• Sometimes
• Never

What is the tendency of an object to resist change in its motion called?

• acceleration
• force
• inertia
• mass

Can an object continue to move even after you remove the force?

• Yes
• No

In the 1600s, who was the English mathematician who discovered the 3 basic laws of motion?

• Sir Isaac Newton
• Dimitri Mendeleev
• Gregor Mendel
• Bill Nye

An object at rest will stay at rest, and an object that is moving at a constant velocity will continue moving at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
