What is the difference between mass and weight?
Mass is measured in kilograms and weight in newtons
There is no difference; they are the same thing
Weight is measured in kilograms and mass in newtons
Mass is a force, while weight is not

It halves
It stays the same
It doubles
It quadruples
What is the effect of a lubricant on friction?
It increases friction
It decreases friction
It has no effect on friction
It initially increases then decreases friction
