What is the net force when two forces of 4000 N right and 4000 N left are applied?

Back

The net force is 4000 N left.

Front

If one object has twice as much mass as another object, it also has twice as much...

Back

Inertia.

Front

What is the magnitude and direction of the net force if the forces are 15 N to the left and 14 N to the right?

Back

1 N to the left.

Front

With unbalanced forces, the object will move in the direction of the _______ force.

Back

Larger force.

Front

What does inertia refer to in Newton's First Law?

Back

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

Front

How does mass affect inertia?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia.

Front

What happens to an object at rest when no net force acts on it?

Back

It remains at rest.

Front

What happens to an object in motion when no net force acts on it?

Back

It continues to move at a constant velocity.

Front

What is an example of inertia in everyday life?

Back
