This friction force acts on objects that are at rest and needs to be 'overcome' in order to cause acceleration.

TRUE or FALSE: Because the weight formula shows that mass and weight are proportional, doubling the mass of an object will not affect its weight.

How do BALANCED forces affect the motion of an object?

What is the formula used to describe Newton's 2nd Law?

TRUE or FALSE: Friction is a force that helps objects that are touching move past each other more easily.

On the moon, the acceleration due to gravity is only about one sixth that on Earth. Thus, an object will weight _________ on the moon than it weighs on Earth.

When drawing a Free Body Diagram, in what direction will you draw an arrow to represent gravity?

How do UNBALANCED forces affect the motion of an object?

What do we call the OVERALL force acting on an object after all the forces are combined?

TRUE or FALSE: Fluid friction is a force that opposes the motion of an object through a fluid such as water.

The curved path caused by the combination of initial forward velocity and the downward force of gravity is known as __________.

What is the formula used to calculate the weight of an object?

TRUE or FALSE: The law of inertia states that an object in motion will eventually slow down and come to a compete stop if it travels far enough in the same direction.
