The force of gravity here on Earth often goes by another term. We call it ___________.
What is WEIGHT?
200
The coefficient of friction is a number used to describe ____________________.

An object's weight in Newtons is always this many times larger than its mass in kilograms?
What is 9.8? (w=mg, and g=9.8)
300
An object in air weighs 9N, but in water only seems to weigh 3N. This is because the water pushes with a buoyant force equal to _____ N.

What is 25N and 135N? (Forces can add together if in the same direction, or subtract if in opposite directions)
400
According to Newton's first law, an object with more mass is both more difficult to move and more difficult to stop because it has more ____________.
