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

You push on a car and it does not move.  What is true about the inertia?

• The inertia is changing
• The inertia of the car is too great 
• The inertia of the person is equal to the car
• There is not inertia because of no movement

Why is the net force 0 in the image?

• Because the elephants are the same size
• Because they are both pulling the same amount of force in opposite directions
• Because they are elephants
• Because they are pulling away from each other.
