2.

What is inertia?

a)

The tendency of an object to resist a change in motion

The force that pulls objects toward the Earth

c)

The speed at which an object moves

d)

Opposes motion between objects that are touching

b)

Increases the speed of moving objects

c)

Reduces the mass of objects

d)

Changes the color of objects

4.

What is acceleration?

a)

The rate at which velocity changes over time

b)

The distance traveled per unit time

c)

The force applied to an object

d)

The mass of an object

5.

What does Newton's first law of motion state?

a)

An object will not move or change its motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force

b)

The acceleration of an object depends on its mass and the net force applied

c)

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction

d)

Objects in motion stay in motion indefinitely

6.

What does Newton's second law of motion state?

a)

The acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the net force applied

Objects in motion stay in motion indefinitely

7.

What does Newton's third law of motion state?

a)

Whenever one object applies a force on a second object, the second object applies an equal force on the first object

b)

An object will remain at rest unless acted upon by a force

c)

The acceleration of an object depends on its mass and the net force applied

d)

Objects in motion stay in motion indefinitely

8.

What is gravity?

a)
