________________ acts perpendicular to the direction of motion when an object moves in a circle. Category 2 50

centripetal force Category 2 50

Category 3 questions follow

If the net force on an object is zero, then an object at rest will remain at rest and a moving object will continue moving in a straight line at a constant speed. Which of Newton’s law is this? Category 3 10

Newton’s First Law Category 3 10

What is the law of universal gravitation? Category 3 20

20 All objects are attracted to each other by a gravitational force. Category 3 20

How does friction affect an object in motion? Category 3 30

The force of friction opposes movement and generally works to slow down the motion of an object. Category 3 30

How do balanced forces affect an object that is moving? Category 3 40

Balanced forces do not affect the motion of the object Balanced forces do not affect the motion of the object. If the object is moving it will continue moving at the same speed and in the same direction. Category 3 40

50 How do balanced forces affect an object that is not moving? Category 3 50

If an object is not moving, it would remain at rest. Category 3 50

Category 4 questions follow

How does centripetal force act on an object that is moving in a circle? Category 4 10

It acts in a motion perpendicular to the motion of the object moving in a circle. Category 4 10

What is an example of a force pair? Category 4 20

(Any example in which two objects exert force on each other – equal in strength, opposite in direction) Category 4 20

What is the law of conservation of momentum? Category 4 30

The total momentum of a group of objects remains the same unless outside forces act on the objects. Category 4 30

Give an example of the law of conservation of momentum. Category 4 40

(Any example of an object maintaining it’s momentum until an outside force acts on it and causes it to change speed, direction, or both. Category 4 40

The acceleration of an object is equal to the net force exerted on the object divided by the object’s mass. Which of Newton’s Laws is this? Category 4 50

Newton’s Second Law of Motion Category 4 50
