the clouds above the bus
the street outside the bus
the seats on the bus
the floor of the bus
Which diagram describes an object moving at a constant speed?
How are speed and velocity alike?
They both describe a rate of motion.
They both require a reference point.
They both include the direction of motion.
They both include the total distance traveled.

What is the relationship between inertia and mass?
The more mass an object has, the more inertia it has.
The less mass an object has, the more inertia it has.
The more mass an object has, the less inertia it has.
Inertia and mass are measured separately and in different units.

A net force that is not 0
Unbalanced forces
A net force equal to 0
Balanced forces
The maximum force of static friction between a fish bowl and a table is 38 N. Which force will move the fish bowl to the left?
40 N to the left
38 N to the left
20 N to the left
30 N to the left
The photo shows a skateboarder dragging her foot along the ground as she rides down a hill. How does this action cause the skateboarder's speed to decrease?
It increases the force of friction.
It increases the net force down the hill.
It decreases the force of friction.
It increases the maximum static friction of the skateboard.
This glass of juice has a mass of 0.5 kg.
What net force must act on the glass in order to make it accelerate to the right at a rate of 5 m/s2 ? (Hint: Use F = m a .)
F = 2.5 N right
F = 0.5 N left
F = 5 N left
F = 10 N right
The girl in the diagram is accelerating down the hill. What is the girl's acceleration? (Hint: Use the formula
a = F / m.)
a = 3 m/s2
a = 6 m/s2
a = 5 m/s2
a = 150 m/s2
