Completion
Fill in the blank to complete each statement.
11. Weight is the measure of the force of on an
object.
12. A newton is a unit of .
13. Air rushing against an airplane is an example of
friction.
14. The momentum of an object depends on its mass and
.
15. The total momentum of any group of objects remains the same unless an
outside acts on the objects.
True or False
If the statement is true, write true. If it is false, change the underlined word or words
to make the statement true.
16. Forces can be added together only if they are act-
ing on different objects.
17. According to Newton’s second law of motion,
acceleration increases as force increases, if mass
stays the same.
18. The force exerted by gravity is stronger if two
objects are closer.
19. The force of friction acts between all objects in
the universe.

21. What happens in the rocket engine at point A? How does the rocket take
off? Include these terms in your answer: action and reaction force,
acceleration, force, and gravity.
22. What is happening to the rocket at point B? Explain what keeps the
rocket from falling back to the surface or moving off into space.
Essay

Essay
Write a brief paragraph to answer each of the following on a separate sheet of paper.
28. Archaeologists are still not sure how the prehistoric people of England
moved the giant blocks that were used to build Stonehenge. What forces
would be at work if you were trying to move a 20,000-kg block of stone?

started? Explain.
