Force and Motion Anticipation Guide

In the Beginning of Unit column, circle either an A (agree) or D (disagree) beside each statement. At the end of
the unit, after completing labs and notes we will reread the statements and respond in the End of Unit column.

More force is required to accelerate an object with a smaller mass than a greater mass.
The amount of inertia an object has depends on its mass.
Objects that have balanced forces acting on them are always at rest.
Gravity is the force of attraction between objects that have mass.
Newton's 3rd Law of Motion states that for every action there is an equal and opposite
reaction.
Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist a change in motion.
Unbalanced forces cause a change in the speed or direction of an object's motion.
An object with unbalanced forces acting on it will maintain a constant speed and
direction.
Newton's 2nd Law of Motion state that Force = Mass x Acceleration.
