A sheet of paper can be quickly jerked beneath a container of milk without toppling, which best demonstrates

• the difference between force and mass

• net force

• inertia

• all of the above

If no external forces act on a moving object, it will

• continue moving at the same speed

• come to an abrupt halt

• move slower until it finally stops

• increase in speed

When no forces act on moving objects their paths are normally

• circles

• ellipses

• straight lines

• all of the above

When you flick a card from beneath a coin that hardly moves, you're illustrating

• supportive force

• friction

• inertia

• equilibrium

Inertia is defined as a

• change in motion

• force

• property of matter

• all of the above

The force of friction on a sliding object is 10 N. The applied force needed to maintain a constant velocity is

• 10 N

• 10 Kg

• 10 J

• all of the above

If you toss a coin straight upward in train that gains speed while the coin is in the air, the coin will land

• in front of you

• on you

• behind you

• will not land
