• A) The force of gravity causes the ball to change its direction.

• B) The force of friction causes the ball to stop.

• C) The force of gravity causes the ball to change its velocity.

• D) The ball remains in its state of upward motion.

• E) The action-reaction force pair of gravity and the push force cancel each other.

According to Newton’s first law, what happens to the driver just after the car stops?

• Because of inertia, the driver continues moving in a forward direction causing the driver to crash into the car window.

• The driver immediately stops moving along with the car.

• The driver moves backward due to the sudden stop.

• The driver remains suspended in the air.

A race car is powered with a 1500 horsepower engine as it races down a track. It has a mass of 250kg. It travels down the racetrack with a net force of 500N. What is the correct formula to use to calculate the acceleration of the car down the racetrack?

• Acceleration = mass / force

• Acceleration = mass x force

• Acceleration = force / mass

• Acceleration = mass + force
