How would the absence of friction affect a steel ball traveling on a long straight path

• steel ball's speed would decrease

• steel ball's speed would increase

• steel ball would stop immediately

• steel ball would remain at a constant speed

What will happen to the book if no other forces act upon it?

• book will stay at rest

• book will begin to move

• mass of the book will increase

• gravity on the book will increase

How does a wagons motion change when additional force is applied?

• as force increases, acceleration increases

• as force increases, acceleration decreases

• as forces increases, the wagon's mass changes

• as forces increases, the wagon direction changes
