Forces and Motion

This word means the speed AND direction of an object.

• motion

• speed

• velocity

• acceleration

A CHANGE in velocity over is called:

• motion

• speed

• velocity

• acceleration

The tendency oaf an object to stay at rest or stay in motion is called:

• gravity

• friction

• inertia

• force

The definition of this word is "a push or a pull."

• work

• energy

• force

• friction

A change in an object's position is:

• motion

• speed

• velocity

• inertia

This is calculated by dividing the distance traveled by time.

• motion

• speed

• velocity

• acceleration

This force pulls all objects toward toward the center of the Earth.

• friction

• inertia

• gravity

• acceleration

This force between surfaces slows objects down or stops them from moving.

• friction

• gravity

• force

• inertia

Which is an example of a non-contact force?

• hitting a baseball

• kicking a soccer ball

• picking up a nail with a magnet

• picking up a heavy box

The acceleration of an object depends on two factors. Which of the following is NOT one of them?

• The weight of the object.

• The force that is applied to the object

• How far apart the objects are.
