For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Every mass exerts a force on every other mass.

An object at rest tends to stay at rest.

Friction opposes the motion of an object.

If a force of 26 N is exerted on two balls, one with a mass of 0.52 kg and the other with a mass of 0.78 kg, which ball will have the greater acceleration? (F=ma)

The one with a mass of .52 kg will have the greatest acceleration.

The one with a mass of .78 kg will have the greatest acceleration.

They will both accelerate at the same rate.

A crumpled piece of paper hits the ground before a flat sheet of paper because

there is more air resistance against the flat paper.

the acceleration of gravity is greater on the crumpled paper.

the crumpled paper is more massive

the crumpled paper is less massive.

What is the definition of "weight"?

the force in which gravity pulls on an object

the time it takes to get on a ride

the amount of matter in an object

An object will not have any inertia if it is _?_

… Nonsense! All objects have inertia

Newton's second law states that F=ma (force is mass times acceleration) which example would have the GREATEST?

a 10 kg ball thrown with a 50 N force

a 1 kg ball thrown with a 0.5N force

a 50 kg student launched by a 100 N catapult

a) a 500 kg car accelerated by 1000 N from the engine

To test Newton’s law of gravity, Ben and Jerry climbed the football stadium at school and dropped an egg from the very top of the bleachers. Their egg dropped data can be seen in the table According to this data, What conclusion can the boys make regarding Newton’s law of gravity?

a) The acceleration due to gravity of 9.8 m/s2 is supported

a) No conclusion can be drawn from the data

a) The acceleration due to gravity is not constant

a) The acceleration due to gravity of 9.8 m/s2 is refuted

Which of these best describes why your weight (on Earth) would change on another planet?

different planets have different gravitational pulls

weight doesn’t change, no matter where you are

In general, the smaller the planet, the greater weight

dehydration effects on different planets change weight

Suppose you are conducting an experiment concerning gravities effects on falling objects, and you want to minimize air resistance. Which of these would be the most useful and practical way to do these?

conduct the experiment in vaccum

conduct the experiment at various altitudes

Mr. Hardens class decides to perform an experiment to determine how long it takes different objects to hit the floor when dropped from a desk. The class dropped 3 balls from a desk, one weighing 2 lbs, one weighing 4 lbs and 6 lbs. It took them all the same amount of time to hit the floor. After evaluation these results, you predict that a 10 lb ball will take

about the same amount of time to hit the floor

an unknown amount of time before hitting
