CP Ch02.4 Mass Resists Acceleration

What happens in an inversely proportional relationship?

• Both values increase together

• Both values decrease together

• One value increases while the other decreases

• Both values remain constant

How does mass affect acceleration?

• More mass means more acceleration

• More mass means less acceleration

• More mass has no effect on acceleration

• More mass causes negative acceleration

Why are more massive objects more difficult to accelerate?

• Due to their larger size

• Because of their greater inertia

• As a result of their higher density

• Because they have more energy

According to the text, what happens to the whole quantity as the denominator increases mathematically?

• Increases

• Remains constant

• Decreases

• Fluctuates

According to the text, how is acceleration related to mass?

• Directly proportional

• Inversely proportional

• Not related

• Exponentially related

What is acceleration shown to be inversely proportional to in Figure 2.12?

• Time

• Distance

• Mass

• Velocity

For the same force, what happens to acceleration when the mass is doubled?

• Acceleration remains the same

• Acceleration doubles

• Acceleration halves

• Acceleration quadruples

In this figure, what would happen if you keep adding more bricks?

• Acceleration increase

• Acceleration decreases

• Will require the same force to move the bricks

• It will require 1/4 as much force
