• similar
• opposite
• parallel
• perpendicular

 What is the unit that measures force?

• Weight

• Newton
• Kilogram

How would the absence of friction affect a marble traveling on a long, straight path?

• The marble’s speed would decrease.
• The marble’s speed would increase.
• The marble would stop immediately. 
• The marble would remain at a constant speed.
