I. Identification.

____________1. Involves two objects, such as your face and the pillow, or a boxer’s fist and the
punching bag.
____________2. Is the tendency of an object to resist any change in its state of motion.
____________3. The sum of all forces acting on the object is zero.
____________4. Summarized the reasons why objects move, stop or keep moving.
____________5. Always acts perpendicular to the surface that exerts it.
____________6. These are units of mass, which is not force.
____________7. This is used to measure forces.
