mass 14.

15. push or pull

16. states that any two objects in the universe will attract each other.

friction 17.

gravitropism 18.

net force 19.

20. when the only force acting on a falling object is gravity

21. the tendency of an object to resist change in its motion, for example if a car

to balance the object?

40. How would a force added downward

represent?

Fill in the blank to make the statement true.

42. As inertia increases, mass ______________________.

43. As mass decreases, acceleration ______________________.

44. As velocity moves in one direction, __________________ moves in the same direction.

Force and Motion Answer Key

1. Force
2. Mass x gravity
3. Kilograms
4. Momentum
5. Force/surface area
6. Newtons/kg
7. B
8. C
9. A
10. Because your mass stays the same
11. The pressure on the inside of the balloon creates pressure on the outside of the balloon.
When the balloon doesn’t pop, the forces are the same, or at an equilibrium. When the
balloon pops, the force inside becomes to great for the outside.
12. Add sand, add salt, bigger tires, tap breaks often, newer tires
13. Smoother surface, bald tires, rain/water on road, ice, no treads
14. Measure of the gravitational force which is Experienced by an object (like a rock) OR
Produced by an object (such as a planet)
15. Force
16. Law of universal gravitation
17. A force that one surface exerts on another when the two rub against each other
18. The ability of a seedling to grow the stem upward and roots downward, no matter how
the seed is placed in the soil.
19. The overall force on an object after all the forces acting on it are added
20. Free fall
21. Inertia (law of inertia)
22. The fluid friction experienced by objects falling through the air
23. Balanced forces/equilibrium
24. A unit of measure that equals the force required to accelerate one kilogram of mass at a
rate of one meter per second per second
25. Measure of the force of gravity on an object (you WEIGH less on the moon).
26. An object that is airborne and in motion. Can be thrown or launched.
27. Pascal
28. The maximum velocity a falling object achieves (due to it’s Mass and Gravitational effect)
29. An object at rest will remain at rest. An object in motion at a constant velocity will
continue moving at that constant velocity, unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
30. A basketball will roll on the gym floor unless it is stopped by a wall.
31. (F= mass x acceleration) The net force acting on an object is equal to the product of its
acceleration and its mass.
32. Throwing a baseball 90 MPH
33. Equal and opposite reactions—If one object exerts a force on another object, then the
second object exerts a force of equal strength in the opposite direction on the first object.
34. A swimmer pushing water back, but moving forward in the water.
35. Skater B has more mass.
36. No, Skater B has more MASS meaning different acceleration
37. Force in a direction
38. The amount of force
39. Left by an additional 5N
40. If the force was greater than 5N it would move the box downward
41. SLIDING: Solid surfaces SLIDE across each other; BOTH: Involves surfaces, type of
friction, Newtons. ROLLING: Rolls over a surface
42. Increases
43. Decreases
44. Acceleration
45. Mass
