8.
Which of the following statements correctly describes Newton's first law of motion?
a)
An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless the object is acted upon by a balanced force.
b)
An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless the object is acted upon by an unbalanced force.
c)
An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with a change in speed and direction unless the object is acted upon by a balanced force.
d)
An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with a change in speed and direction unless the object is acted upon by an unbalanced force.
9.

a)
The tendency of an object to resist being moved or, if the object is moving, to resist a change in speed or direction.
b)
The tendency of an object to move in a straight line with constant speed.
c)
The tendency of an object to change its state of motion.
d)
The tendency of an object to accelerate when acted upon by a force.

17.

Cart A is traveling north at 30 km/h and Cart B is traveling south at 30 km/h. Which statement correctly compares the speed and velocity of the two carts?

a)

The velocities are different because the carts are moving in different directions but at the same speed.

b)

The velocities are different because the carts are moving in different directions and at different speeds.

c)

The velocities are the same because both carts have the same mass and are moving at the same speed.

d)

The velocities are the same because both carts are moving on the same road and with the same speed.
