• mass.

• position.

• kinetic.

A force that opposes motion between two touching surfaces is called:

• friction

• acceleration

• speed

• direction

The rate an object is moving relative to a reference point is its

• velocity.

• speed.

• deceleration rate.

• mechanical potential energy rate.

• acceleration rate.

• velocity.

• mechanical potential energy rate.

An object's average speed is found by dividing the total distance the object travels by the total

• mass of the object.

• acceleration of the object.

• specific gravity of the object.

• time it takes to move that distance.

Newton's First Law of Motion states that an object in motion tends to stay in motion unless it ________

• starts to decelerate.

• runs out of kinetic energy.

• is acted upon by another force.

• approaches the speed of light.

Newton's Second Law of Motion says that the acceleration of an object depends on the object's mass and the

• amount of force applied to the object.

• negative acceleration factor.

• amount of atoms the object has.
