Bill Nye: Motion Quiz

If an object is at rest, it stays at rest unless:

• the forces are equal.

• it's heavy.

• it is acted upon by an outside force.

• it has a lot of mass.

Which of the following statements about inertia is correct?

• The more mass a body has, the more inertia it has.

• The more mass a body has, the less inertia it has.

• The amount of inertia a body has is not dependent upon its mass.

• An object has to be moving to have inertia.

If a push and a pull are exactly the same, the forces on the object are:

• not in balance.

• heavy

• light

• in balance

What is Newton's third law of motion?

• A body at rest or in motion will remain at rest or in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

• An action will cause an equal and opposite reaction.

• The acceleration of a body depends upon its mass and the force applied to it.

• The more mass a body has, the more inertia it has.

What is the definition of mass?

• Mass is the weight of an object.

• Mass is the amount of matter that forms an object.

• Mass is a force.

• Mass is gravity.
