Ben Toocloze is being chased through the woods by a bull moose which he was attempting to photograph. The enormous mass of the bull moose is extremely intimidating. Yet, if Ben makes a zigzag pattern through the woods, he thinks he will be able to use the large mass of the moose to his own advantage. Explain this using the terms inertia and mass in your explanation why this is a great option or poor option for Ben Toocloze.

Drag the following so that the term and definition match each other.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
friction		the resistance to a change in motion
gravity		a force that opposes motion and often generates heat
inertia		a push or a pull that can cause motion
mass		a force of attraction that pulls objects closer to Earth
force		the amount of matter in an object, affects inertia

The amount of inertia an object has depends on the object's:

Friction between surfaces can be reduced by all of the following EXCEPT:

Increasing the mass of the objects.

Smoothing the surfaces.

Lubricating or rolling the surfaces.

Using wheels or rollers.

According to Newton's 1st Law, what happens to an object with balanced forces acting on it?

Speeds up

Slows down

Changes direction

Remains at rest or moves at a constant velocity

Identify the friction type with its application example.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Fluid Friction		A billiard (pool) ball moving across the table after being hit by the cue stick.
Sliding friction		Sitting still on a chair
Rolling friction		a coaster moving across a table
Static friction		a person surfing on the waves

When you put on the brakes of your bike, the wheels stop turning. Then friction between the wheels and the road slows your bike to a stop. Which type of friction is this?

fluid friction

static friction

sliding friction

rolling friction

To help move a large box, should you use a dolly with rolling wheels or slide the box across the ground? Why?

Rolling the boxes with the dolly is easier because sliding friction is less than rolling friction.

Sliding the boxes on the floor is easier than using the dolly because sliding friction is less than rolling friction.

Rolling the box with the dolly is easier because rolling friction is less than sliding friction.

Sliding the boxes on the floor is easier than using the dolly because rolling friction is less than sliding friction.

How does friction impact the motion of a moving object?

According to Newton's First Law of Motion(inertia), what should happen if I throw a baseball in deep space?

None of these statements are correct.

It should continue to move forward at the same speed in the same direction, forever.

It will barely move due to a large gravitational force exerted by the sun.

It should gradually slow down, but never stop.

It should gradually speed up until it is traveling the speed of light.

Which object has the greatest inertia?

5 kg bucket of water

6 kg box of feathers

7 kg bag of sand

8 kg bag of marshmallows

The unit used to describe force is

kilograms

watts

newtons

meters/second/second

A surface contains structures called microwelds. The less microwelds there are, the more friction it causes.

True, microwelds decrease friction so therefore friction would decrease if there are fewer of them.

False, microwelds create gravity so if there are fewer of them, the less friction there would be.

False, microwelds cause more friction so more of them (not less)  would increase friction.

True, microwelds contain gravity and therefore the less gravity there is the more friction it causes.

Which of these best states Newton's second law?

none of these are correct - this isn't related to Newton's second law

the greater themass of an object, the less force is needed to change its motion

the mass of an object does not affect the force needed to change it's motion

the greater the mass of an object, the greater the force needed to change it's motion

Drag the following so that the term and definition match each other.
