A car is moving in a straight line at a constant velocity. Which statement best predicts the car’s continued motion?

• The car will come to a complete stop when the slowing forces are less than the forces propelling it forward.

• The car will begin to move right or left at a new velocity because there are no new changes in the forces that continue to act on the car.

• The car will begin to speed up when the slowing forces are greater than the forces propelling it forward.

• The car will continue to move in a straight line at the same velocity as long as the same forces continue to act on the car.

Four wooden blocks with masses of 2 kg, 5 kg, 7 kg, and 9 kg are placed on a table. According to Newton’s first law, which block will have the least inertia?

• the block with a mass of 5 kg

• the block with a mass of 7 kg

• the block with a mass of 9 kg

Sam exerts a force (F) of 65 N on a lawn mower with a mass (m) of 25 kg. Which formula can be used to calculate the acceleration (a) of the lawn mower?

Janelle pushes a box filled with books across the floor of her room. She then adds some books to the box and pushes it with the same force across the same floor. How will the motion of the box change?

• It will move slower because as mass increases, the force of friction between the surfaces also increases.

• It will move faster because as mass increases, the force of friction between the surfaces decreases

• It will move with the same speed because the mass of the object does not affect the force of friction between the surfaces

• It will move with the same speed because the same force was applied on the box in both of the cases
