A steel ball is at one end of the box that is moving forward as shown. The box suddenly stops. According to ​ (a)   , the steel ball keeps rolling AFTER the box stops because of inertia. The ball continues rolling forward at the SAME speed.

• Newton's 1st Law
• Newton's 2nd Law
• Newton's 3rd Law

Two cars with different masses travel at the same speed down a hill toward a stop sign. What will happen when box cars apply their brakes at the same time in order to stop?

• The car with the smaller mass will require less force to stop than the car with the larger mass.

• The car with the larger mass will maintain its velocity while traveling down the hill.

• The car with the smaller mass will take longer to stop than the car with the larger mass.

• The car with the larger mass will have less inertia than the car with the smaller mass.

During a demonstration of Newton's laws of motion, a student used the setup shown in Figure 1. The student flicked the index card with a fingertip, and the coin fell straight down into the plastic cup as shown in Figure 2.

Which of these best explains why the coin fell straight down into the cup instead of remaining on the index card?

• The coin was at rest until the card was removed, so it stayed in the same location. Once the card was gone, the unbalanced force of gravity caused the coin to fall.

• Moving the card applied an action force on the coin. Since the card was gone, gravity applied a reaction force on the coin.

• The card had less mass than the coin, so a smaller force of gravity acted on the card. The larger force of gravity on the coin made it fall.

• The acceleration of the coin falling into the cup was equal and opposite to the acceleration of the card.
