- accelerate in the absence of friction.
remain in motion

Newton's third law of motion states that whenever one object exerts a force on a second object,
- the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on a third object.
- the first object is unaffected by that force.
- the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first object.
- the second object exerts a less powerful force on the first object.
the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first object.
___________ is the process of checking the product to make sure it is good enough.
(The manufacturing processes are: separating, forming, stamping, conditioning, assembling/welding, finishing/painting and inspection/quality control)
Inspection/quality control

What is the difference between natural and artificial selection?
Example answers include: natural selection is caused by nature and artificial selection is caused by human involvement; natural selection takes a lot longer than artificial selection; in natural selection, nature chooses the traits that will get passed down to the next generation and in artificial selection, humans choose the traits that will get passed down to the next generation
