b) Newton's first law does not take inertia into account.
c) Most objects are affected by unbalanced forces such as friction.
d) Newton's first law only applies to objects that are not already in motion.

Which of the following situations best illustrates Newton's first law?
a) Momentum= mass X velocity
b) Friction acts on objects in motion and at rest.
c) A lamp continues to sit at rest on a table if there is no net force on it.
d) When you push on a wall, the wall pushes back on you with an equal and opposite force.

Momentum is best defined as
a) mass divided by velocity.
b) velocity divided by mass
c) mass multiplied by velocity.

Which of the following statements about momentum is always true?
a) Objects in motion do not have momentum.
b) Inertia and momentum are the same for all objects in motion.
c) As the velocity of an object increases its momentum increases.
d) As the mass of an object increases its momentum always increases.
