question 5 of 5
when you increase your velocity on a skateboard, it is harder to stop. this is an example of ______.
○ momentum
○ inertia
○ unbalanced force
○ balanced force

Explanation:

Momentum is defined as $\text{momentum} = m \times v$, where $m$ is mass and $v$ is velocity. As velocity increases, momentum increases, and a larger force (or longer time) is needed to change that momentum, making it harder to stop. Inertia is resistance to acceleration, balanced forces cause no motion change, and unbalanced forces cause acceleration, none match the scenario as directly as momentum.

Answer:

momentum
