An object forced into motion will resist

b)

An object traveling with velocity moves quickly

c)

An object moving forward has velocity

d)

An object in motion (or at rest) will stay in motion (or at rest) until it is acted upon

8.

Free fall is defined as:

a)

the measure of gravitational push against molecules

b)

the ability of a solid object to bond to an inert surface

c)

the motion of an object when it is falling solely under the influence of gravity

d)

the reaction of an object when it is dropped

9.

When an object is acted on by one or more unbalanced forces, the net force is equal to the mass of the object times the resulting acceleration, we call that

a)

Newton's Laws of Physical Science

b)

Newton's Theory of Motion

c)

Galileo's Study of Inclined Planes

d)

Newton's Second Law of Motion

10.

In space, there is almost no air, so there is virtually no friction. If an astronaut throws a ball in space with an initial velocity of 3.0 m/s to the west, what will the ball's velocity be in a year? Assume there are no nearby planets.

a)

3.0 m/s

b)

15 m/s

c)

30 m/s

d)

300 m/s

11.

Inertia is:

a)

the force of a stationary object

b)

the rate of any movement an object may have

c)

the tendency of an object to resist changes in its velocity

d)

the measurement of an object's output force

12.

A boy is running north with a beanbag in his hands. He passes a tree and at the moment he is beside the tree, he drops the beanbag. Will the beanbag land next to the tree?

a)

yes

b)

no

13.

Suppose the situation in the previous question is now changed. The boy is running, but now his friend stands beside the tree with the beanbag. As the boy passes, he barely taps the beanbag, causing it to fall out of his friend's hand. Will the beanbag land next to the tree?

a)

yes

b)

no

14.

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction is Newton's Third Law of Motion.

a)

true

b)

false

15.
