2. A 10 Kg object is moving with a speed of 4 m/s. How much force is required to keep the
object moving at this speed and direction?

3. Jake says that if he flings spaghetti at a greater speed, it will have a greater inertia. Sam
says that he is not right. She says, force depends upon mass, not speed. Who is right and
why?

4. Patrick sits on his couch and watches WVU football. He eats chips, pizza, and drinks
only soda. Will these actions affect his inertia? Why or why not?
