A skateboard rolls down a hill, reaches the level surface and eventually comes to a stop. The fact that the skateboard ultimately stops is best explained by ____.
an unbalanced force would be required to keep the sled moving forward at constant speed
the presence of an unbalanced force (e.g., friction) can cause a moving object to stop
the presence of inertia causes it to stop
the natural tendency of any object is to ultimately stop
Mac and Tosh are arguing in the cafeteria. Mac says that if he flings the jello with a greater speed it will have a greater inertia. Tosh argues that inertia does NOT depend upon speed, but rather upon mass. Who is correct?
Mac
Tosh
Neither
Both
the tendency of an object to resist a change in its motion
acceleration
inertia
mass
frame of reference
Velocity is speed with __________________________.
a unicycle helmet
direction
fight
Whenever an object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts a force of the same magnitude, but in the opposite direction to that of the first object.
Always true
Sometimes true
Never true

neither, both are the same.
According to Newton's third law, if you push gently on something, it will push
gently on something else.
on you only if you aren't moving.
gently on you
on something only under the right conditions.

1st
2nd
3rd
4th
With respect to Newton's second law, F = ma , we have that:
the less mass, the less acceleration
the greater the force, the less acceleration
is related to balance
the greater the mass, the less acceleration
The acceleration of a body is inversely proportional to the force applied to it.
True
False
The greater the mass and the less force, the greater the acceleration.
True
False
If the force acting on an accelerating body is doubled, its acceleration is also doubled.
True
False
A car moving to the left slows down, so its acceleration is directed to the left.
True
False
If a car moves to the right with constant velocity, it is because:
None force acts on it
Its weight pushes it to the right
All forces cancel each other
The force of its motor is greater than the friction

True
False
