Which concept explains how surfaces resist motion?

• Gravity

• Friction

• Momentum

• Inertia

What is the term for the motion of objects and how it is conserved?

• Inertia

• Momentum

• Friction

• Gravity

What is the difference between mass and weight?

• Mass is a force, weight is not

• Mass affects acceleration, weight does not

• Mass is the amount of matter, weight is the force of gravity on that matter

• Mass is measured in newtons, weight is measured in kilograms
