27. An object at rest will remain at rest, and an object that is moving at constant velocity will continue moving at constant velocity unless acted upon by a unbalanced force. Newton's First Law of Motion

28. What is mass? The amount of matter in an object.

29. How can mass be defined in terms of inertia? Mass can be defined as a measure of the intertia of an object.

30. What is Newton's Second Law of Motion? F=ma The net force of an object is equal to the product (addition) of its acceleration and mass.
