Introduction to Physics

The force that opposes the motion objects that move through the air is

• air resistance

• motion

• gravity

• inertia

The tendency of an object to resist any change in its motion is

• field

• gravity

• inertia

• weight

The force that opposes the sliding motion between two touching surfaces is

• free fall

• gravity

• friction

• terminal velocity

The distance and direction of an object's change in position from the starting point is

• velocity

• motion

• distance

• displacement

Attractive force between two objects that depends on the masses of the objects and the distance between them is called

• inertia

• gravity

• force

• friction
