Forces and Motion Mastery Quiz

What is friction?

• A force that speeds up objects

• A force that pulls objects towards the earth

• A force that opposes motion between two surfaces that are in contact

• A force that exists only in outer space

Which of the following is NOT a type of friction?

What is inertia?

• The tendency of an object to resist changes in its velocity

• The force that pulls objects towards the center of the earth

• The force that opposes motion

• The speed of an object

What is momentum?

• The force required to stop an object

• The quantity of motion an object has, which is dependent on the object's mass and velocity

• The speed at which an object falls towards the earth

• The resistance an object has to starting moving
