Match the following:

• Sliding friction

• a force that acts between objects that are not touching.

• Field force

• Takes place when an object rolls on the surface.

• Rolling friction

• Takes place when two surfaces are rubbed against each other.

• Contact force

• Occurs between two objects when they are not moving but are about to move

• Static friction

• a force that occurs between to objects that are touching.

The law of inertia states that...

• any object with mass also has inertia

• for every action force, there is an equal and opposite reaction force.

• objects will remain in their current state unless acted on by a net external force.

• the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the object.

What happens to acceleration if you halve the mass of the object?

• Acceleration is halved

• Acceleration doubles

• Acceleration does not change

• Acceleration increases by 1/3
