Your older brother tells you his paper airplane has inertia. What does this mean?

• It has too much resistance to fly a few feet from his hands.

• It is too heavy to stay in the air for more than a few seconds.

• It will require a lot of force to get it to fly.

• It will stay in flight until something stops it, or it will stay still unless something moves it.

What unit do you measure force in?

• Neutron

• Norton

• Newton

• Nucleus

Why don't skateboarders keep flying through the air once they launch off the ramp?

• Skateboard wheels don't spin fast enough to keep them moving very far

• The force of gravity works against the skateboard's inertia.

• The skateboarders have no inertia when they launch off the ramp.

• Skateboards do not use Newtons to move around ramps.
