Question

Match each definition with the correct term.

a. inertial
b. unbalanced force
c. friction
d. law of inertia
e. mass
17. combination of all the forces acting on an object
18. force that opposes the motion of any object
19. an object's motion will not change unless an unbalanced force acts on it
20. factor that determines the inertia of an object
21. type of force needed to overcome inertia of an object
22. tendency of an object to resist a change in motion
f. net force

Answer 1

In physics, the net force is the combination of all the forces acting on an object, friction is the force that opposes motion, the law of inertia states that an object's motion will not change unless acted upon by an unbalanced force, mass determines an object's inertia, unbalanced force is required to overcome inertia, and inertia is an object's tendency to resist changes in motion.

Step-by-step explanation:

17. Combination of all the forces acting on an object:

f. net force

18. Force that opposes the motion of any object:

c. friction

19. An object's motion will not change unless an unbalanced force acts on it:

d. law of inertia

20. Factor that determines the inertia of an object:

e. mass

21. Type of force needed to overcome inertia of an object:

b. unbalanced force

22. Tendency of an object to resist a change in motion:

a. inertial
