What is motion?

• A measure of the distance an object moves in a given amount of time.

• A change in an objects position over time

• the tendency to resist a change

• staying in one place

What law is considered the law of inertia?

• Newton's first law

• Newton's second law

• Newton's third law

• Newton's fourth law

Which forces is a contact force?

• Air resistance

• Magnetic

• Gravity

A bus travels north along a straight stretch of road. Its velocity is a constant 15 m/s. Another bus travels south on the same road at the same speed. What is the velocity of the second bus?

• -15 m/s

• 15 m/s

• 0 m/s

• 1 m/s

What object has the most inertia?

What does Newtons second law of motion tell us?

• If you accelerate slow it will be faster than a car.

• If the force remains constant and the mass is decreased, the object will accelerate at a faster rate.

• Nothing.
