Newton's Laws Pre-Assessment

Front

What is Newton's 1st law of motion?

Back

An object in motion will remain in motion, and an object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by a net external force.

Front

What is another name for Newton's 1st law?

Back

The law of inertia.

Front

What type of friction occurs when you rub your palms together?

Back

Sliding friction.

Front

How does increasing the force on an object affect its acceleration?

Back

It increases the acceleration.

Front

In which direction will an object move if a force is applied to the right?

Back

To the right.

Front

What is the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration according to Newton's 2nd law?

Back

Force equals mass times acceleration (F = ma).

Front

What does Newton's 3rd law state?

Back

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

Front

What is the formula for calculating acceleration?

Back

Acceleration = (Final velocity - Initial velocity) / Time.

Front

What is the effect of mass on acceleration when a constant force is applied?

Back

Greater mass results in lower acceleration.
