    What is the relationship between force and momentum?
    Хариулт
    (A)

  • 7
    If an object is moving at a constant velocity, what can you say about the forces acting on it?
    Хариулт
    (C)
    The net force acting on the object is zero.

    Zero
  • 11
    What is the relationship between velocity and acceleration?
    Хариулт
    (B)

    Which is a valid way to describe the motion of an object with uniform speed?
    Хариулт
    (C)
    A straight, non-horizontal line on the distance-time graph.
  • 19
    Which of the following best describes Newton's First Law of Motion?
    Хариулт
    (B)
    An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
