• inertia 

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.

Find the net force: 15 N to the right, and another 15 N to the right.

• 0 N Right

• 0 N Left

• 30 N Left

• 30 N Right

• 12 N Right No

• 4 N Left No

• 12 N Right Yes

• 4 N Left Yes
