Newtons 1st & 2nd Laws of Motion

Multiple Choice

True or False? According to Newton's 1st Law of Motion, an object's state of motion does not change as long as the net force acting on it is zero.

• True

• False

Open Ended

What is inertia?

Multiple Choice

True or False? The law of inertia states that an object in motion will eventually slow down and come to a complete stop if it travels far enough in the same direction.

• True

• False

Multiple Choice

A measure of the inertia of an object is its

• mass

• net force

• acceleration

• weight

Multiple Choice

The Net Force/Mass of an object is equal to the object's

• mass

• net force

• acceleration

• weight

Multiple Choice

This can cause an object's velocity to change

• mass

• net force

• acceleration

• weight

Open Ended

In your own words, explain how weight is different from mass.

Open Ended

Write the formula used to calculate the weight of an object.

Multiple Choice

True or False? Because the weight formula shows that mass and weight are directly proportional, doubling the mass of an object will affect its weight.

• True

• False
