component that points, respectively, in the same direction as the displacement or in the opposite direction.
TRUE

*Weight is an intrinsic property of matter and does not change as an object is moved from one location to
another. Mass, in contrast, is the gravitational force acting on the object and can vary, depending on how

*An object in motion has KINETIC energy.
