If the teacher puts a force of 20N to move a desk to the right at the same time a student puts a force of 30N to move the desk to the left the

the desk will move to the left.

the desk will move to the right

A transfer of energy by a force to move and object

AS A ROLLER COASTER MOVES DOWN A HILL, POTENTIAL ENERGY IS CONVERTED INTO KINETIC ENERGY, THERMAL ENERGY, AND SOUND ENERGY. WHAT IS TRUE ABOUT THE TOTAL ENERGY OF THIS SYSTEM?

THE TOTAL ENERGY REMAINS THE SAME AS THE ROLLER COASTER MOVES

ENERGY IS GAINED (CREATED) AS THE ROLLER COASTER MOVES

ENERGY IS LOST (DESTROYED) AS THE ROLLER COASTER MOVES

THE TOTAL ENERGY CONSTANTLY CHANGES AS THE ROLLER COASTER MOVES

Acceleration is defined as the CHANGE in

velocity divided by the time interval

time it takes for one place to move to another place.

distance divided by the time interval

how much distance is covered over a period of time

the change in the location of a object

A person steps out of the boat and onto the dock. As the person moves forward onto the dock, the boat moves backward. Which statement best describes the backward motion of the boat as the person steps forward?

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.

A book rests on a table. The force of gravity pulls down on the book with a force of 20 newtons. What prevents the books from accelerating downward at 9.8 m/sec 2

The table presses back up on the book with an equal and opposite force of 20 newtons.

The table presses back up on the book with a force greater than 20 newtons.

The table and the book together are accelerating downwards at 9.8 m/sec 2

The inertia of the book holds it up
