CP Ch02.3 Mass, Inertia, Volume and Weight

According to the text, what happens to the force needed for a given acceleration as mass increases?

• It decreases

• It remains the same

• It fluctuates

• It increases

What is weight defined as in relation to an object?

• The force due to gravity on an object

• The speed of an object

• The color of an object

• The temperature of an object

What is mass a measure of in an object?

• Volume

• Weight

• Inertia

• Density

What is the difference between mass and volume?

• Mass is measured in kilograms, while volume is a measure of space.

• Mass is measured in liters, while volume is measured in kilograms.

• Mass is a measure of space, while volume is measured in kilograms.

• Mass is a measure of weight, while volume is measured in liters.

How does weight depend on gravity compared to mass?

• Weight depends directly on gravity, while mass does not.

• Weight depends inversely on gravity, while mass does not.

• Weight does not depend on gravity, while mass does.

• Weight and mass are independent of gravity.

What does net force produce?

• Velocity

• Acceleration

• Friction

• Gravity
