What is the unit for force?

• Joules (J)

• seconds (s)

• Newtons (N)

• meters (m)

How will this object move?

• The object will move to the left, as the forces are balanced.

• The object will move to the right, as the forces are unbalanced.

• The object will move to the left, as the forces are unbalanced.

• The object will move to the right, as the forces are balanced.

According to Newton's First Law, an object at rest will tend to do which of the following?

• stay at rest
• stay in motion
• speed up
• change in direction

We often say that g = -9.8 m/s². The lowercase g represents:

• the speed of gravity
• the velocity of gravity
• the acceleration of gravity
• the force of gravity
