    B. The combination of all forces acting on an object
    C. The force exerted by the ground on a stationary object
    D. The frictional force opposing motion

  5. Which of the following statements is correct regarding inertia?
    A. Inertia is directly proportional to weight.
    B. Inertia is only observed in moving objects.
    C. Inertia is a property of matter that causes it to resist changes in motion.
    D. Inertia only applies to liquids and gases.

  6. How does increasing the mass of an object affect its acceleration when a constant force is applied?
    A. Increases acceleration
    B. Decreases acceleration
    C. Does not affect acceleration

    A. It always increases acceleration
    B. It always decreases acceleration
    C. It can both increase or decrease motion depending on the situation
    D. It has no effect on motion
