1. Inertia is the resistance of a object to any change in its state of motion, including
a change in direction. Which property is a measure of the body's inertia?
Mass
Density
Volume
Weight
2. In a laboratory on Earth, experiments show that an object has a mass of 2 kg and
a weight of 20 N. The same experiments are then brought to the Moon, where
the gravitational field strength is less than on the Earth.
Are the mass and weight of the object the same, or less, than before?

8. Ten identical steel balls, each of mass 27 g, are immersed in a measuring
cylinder containing 20 cm3cm3 of water.
The reading of the water level rises to 50 cm3cm3.
What is the density of the steel?

0.90 g/cm3
13.5 g/cm3
9. An object that has a mass of 15 kg on the Earth is taken to the Moon.
The gravitational field strength on the Earth is 10 N kg−110 N kg−1 and on the
Moon is 1.6N kg−11.6N kg−1.
What are the mass and weight of the object on the Moon?
