Test #3--Pre-Midterm Test

What is acceleration?

• The tendency of an object to resist any change in motion

• The change in motion of an object

• The force that causes an object to move

• The speed at which an object moves

According to Newton's first law of motion, what is inertia?

• The tendency of an object to resist any change in motion

• The change in motion of an object

• The force that causes an object to move

• The speed at which an object moves

According to Newton's second law of motion, what happens to the change in motion of an object as its mass increases?

• The change in motion increases

• The change in motion decreases

• The change in motion remains the same

• The change in motion cannot be determined
