Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability.
1. What happens to an object when the net force acting on it is zero?
It speeds up.
It slows down.
It remains at rest or continues at a constant velocity.
It changes direction.
2. What is acceleration?
The speed of an object.
The change in an object's position.
The rate at which an object changes its velocity.
The amount of force applied to an object.
1. If an object is accelerating, there must be an unbalanced force acting on it.
True
False
2. An object moving at a constant speed in a straight line has a net force of zero.
True
False
1. When forces are , the net force is zero, and the object's motion does not change.
2. An force causes an object to accelerate.
3. The greater the net force on an object, the greater its will be.
1. Describe the difference between balanced and unbalanced forces. Provide an example of each.
2. How does mass affect the acceleration of an object when the same net force is applied?
