How does the mass of an object affect acceleration?
The greater the mass of an object the greater the force nee
the smaller the mass of an object the greater the force need
none of the above
The greater the mass of an object the smaller the force nee
What is the formula for average speed?
Average Speed = Total Distance ÷ Total Time
The average human can walk about 8 miles in 2 hours. What is the average speed?
4 mph
What two measurements are needed to calculate average speed?
distance and time
Equal forces acting on an object in opposite directions; object will not move:
balanced force
How does a wagons motion change when additional force is applied?
as force increases, acceleration decreases
as forces increases, the wagon direction changes
as force increases, acceleration increases
as forces increases, the wagon's mass changes
A book falls off the desk. What moves the book towards the floor?
gravity
What is an example of an unbalanced force?
a book laying on the desk
a cat sitting on a chair
a boy jumping off his bike
an alligator sleeping in the sun
Which best represents a unit for speed? Meters
m/sec

25 mph
A unit of measure for force is called:
Newtons
A boy rides a skate board down a hill. Eventually the skate board stops. Which is most responsible for causing the skateboard to stop?
friction acting on the skateboard
The tendency of an object to resist any change in its motion is:
inertia
A force that one surface exerts on another when the two surfaces rub against each other and causes objects to slow down or stop.
friction
Forces that produce a nonzero net force, which changes an object's motion:
unbalanced force
