• an object’s velocity combined with its friction

• what keeps an object steady, whether at rest or moving at the same velocity

• the amount of friction necessary to slow down an object in motion

If a hockey stick acts on a resting puck, what will happen?

• The puck will remain inert and the hockey stick will accelerate.

• The puck will balance on the end of your hockey stick until you drop it.

• The hockey stick will not move the puck, but the puck will move the hockey stick.

• The hockey stick will change the speed of the puck and make it accelerate.
