An object in motion stays in motion and an object at rest stays at rest until ...
a) an unbalanced force acts on it.
b) a constant force is required to keep it in constant motion
c) objects in motion naturally come to rest.
d) a balanced force acts on it.

Inertia can be measured by using

c) force
d) mass

Which object has more inertia
a) A pingpong ball rolling a 2 m/s
b) A bowling ball rolling at 1m/s
c) A car rolling at 5 m/s
d) A tractor trailor rig moving at 2 m/s

A force is a
a) push or pull
b) measured in Newtons
c) several can act together and be balanced or unbalanced
d) all of the above

An accelerating car
a) has an unbalanced for acting on it
b) has balanced forces acting on it.
c) has a constant velocity.
d) no longer has a force acting on it

A rock sitting on a table has
a) a velocity of 0 m/s
b) an acceleration of 0 m/s/s
c) balanced forces acting on it

In order for a 1200 kg car to maintain a velocity of 4 m/s in a frictionless world how much force must be applied
a) 4800 N
b) 0 N
c) 300 N
d) 4 N

Newtons first law of motion is sometime called the law of

Two books are laying on a table top. With out picking them up how could you determine which has the greatest inertia
a) look at them the larger one will have more inertia
b) neither one has inertia they are not moving
c) it is impossible to tell
d) give each one a push, the one that moves the easiest has less mass thus less inertia
