1.

A force caused by objects rubbing together that opposes motion and acts in a direction opposite the motion

a)

Friction

b)

Momentum

c)

Traction

d)

Inertia

e)

Torque

2.

a pulling force that causes rotational (or spinning) motion

a)

Friction

b)

Inertia

c)

Traction

d)

Momentum

e)

Torque

3.

a good type of friction needed on speed cars to keep the drive wheels from spinning without slipping

a)

Friction

b)

Traction

c)

Momentum

d)

Inertia

e)

4.

is inertia in motion; the greater the velocity and mass, the greater the momentum; reduced velocity or reduced mass will result in reduced momentum
