The tendency of an object to resist a change in motion is...

• inertia
• kinetic energy
• vector
• net force

The law of inertia (Newton’s First Law) applies

• to both moving and nonmoving objects
• only to moving objects
• only to objects that are not moving

Because of inertia, a moving object will keep ________ unless acted on by an unbalanced force.

• at rest

• moving

• in one spot

• inertia

Because of inertia, a resting object will remain at ________.

• rest
• a constant speed
• school
• inertia 

What kind(s) of objects have inertia?

• all objects with mass
• only objects at rest
• only objects in motion
• only objects whose motion is being changed

Why is the net force 0 in the image?

• Because the elephants are the same size
