What does Newton's first law say that object will tend to do?
If a moving object is losing momentum as time passes, then what does Newton's second law tells us is acting on the object?
____________________ When all 67 kilograms of me falls off a RipStik, I accelerate towards the ground at 9.8 m/s² and then I hit the ground, exerting a force of 1400 Newtons on the ground. Calculate the counter-force that the ground exerts on me.

Identify by the data point shapes (circles, squares, or diamonds) which of the mathematical relationships on the graph represents the time versus distance relationship for a RipStik moving at a constant linear velocity with no acceleration.

a = _____________________ Shanalin is a 25.2 kilogram eight-year old RipStik rider. She can accelerate from a velocity of 0 m/s to 2.0 m/s in four seconds. What is Shanalin's acceleration?
F = _____________________ Given the above data, how much force did Shanalin have to exert to create that acceleration?
k = ____________________ An elastic band stretches (displaces) a distance x of 5 cm when a 70 gram-force force f is applied. Calculate Hooke's constant k for the elastic.
x = ____________________ Presume that the elastic band in the above problem is Hookean, that is, it is a linear elastic material. What will be the displacement x when a 210 gram-force force f is applied?
