While you're ice-skating with your friends, you push off from one end of the rink and slide forward.
Based on Newton's first law of motion, what is true?
A You will lose your balance and fall over before you reach the middle of the ice rink
B You will continue to slide across the ice until a force makes you stop or change direction
C The force of gravity will make you keep your velocity until your friends make you stop
D The size of your ice skates will determine how quickly or slowly you travel across the ice

2 How is velocity different from speed?

A Velocity is when an object goes in reverse
B Velocity is the direction an object moves in, and it has nothing to do with speed
C Velocity is speed and direction together
D Velocity is not at all different from speed
3 What does friction do to a moving object?
A makes it rise
B slows it down
C speeds it up
D all of the above

Your friend kicks a soccer ball, and it stops a few feet from you. What needs to happen to it in order
for it to return to your friend?
A Friction has to be applied to the ball
B Force has to be applied to the ball
C Speed has to be applied to the ball
D Inertia has to be applied to the ball

5 What is the relationship between heavy objects and inertia?

A Only heavy objects have inertia
B Heavy objects have no inertia
C Heavy objects have less inertia
D Heavy objects have more inertia
6 You are riding in the car with your grandfather, and he turns left. Why do you shift to the right?
A It takes you a moment to catch up with the new velocity of the car
B You have more inertia than the car, so it takes longer for you to turn left
C You had been sitting at rest until the force of the turn set you in motion
D The car continued in the same velocity, but you had a different inertia
7 What does the second part of Newton's first law say about objects in rest?
A They cannot move unless they have a lot of friction
B If they are heavy, they will stay at rest, but if they are light, they will move
C They will stay at rest unless an outside force makes them move
D They have more inertia than objects in motion
