1. Every time your cat’s paw hits her toy string, it swings away from her.

How does this

demonstrate Newton’s third law of motion?

Objects with mass, such as your cat’s paw and toy string, will require inertia.

Objects in action, such as the string toy, will experience force.

For every motion from your cat’s paw, there is unbalanced inertia from the string.

For every action your cat makes, there is an equal and opposite reaction from the string.

2. What happens when two objects, such as a baseball and a bat, collide?
One remains still while the other one moves in the same direction.
They hit each other with the same force in opposite directions.
They hit each other with unequal force in opposite directions.
They hit each other with the same force in the same direction.

What does an object do when it accelerates?

It speeds up.
It moves in the opposite direction.
It changes speed and direction.
all of the above

What determines an object’s mass?

amount of matter
amount of friction
amount of force
amount of gravity

When two objects with unequal mass collide, what will they do?
accelerate at different rates
accelerate in the same direction
come to a complete stop
continue at the same velocity

A softball and a volleyball collide with equal speed, and then they accelerate at the same
rate. What must be true about the masses of the objects?

The softball has more mass than the volleyball.

The softball and the volleyball have equal mass.
The volleyball has more mass than the softball.
It is impossible to compare the mass of the softball and the volleyball.
