Newton's Laws of Motion

by Jordyn Lueck

​Newton's First Law of Motion

​Newton's First Law of Motion states that an object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force.

Multiple Choice

Newton's First Law states that an object at rest will remain at rest until

• someone moves it

• acted on by an unbalanced force

• acted on by a balanced force

Multiple Choice

What is the unbalanced force that makes objects fall back to the earth after being thrown?

• friction

• inertia

• gravity

​Newton's Second Law of Motion

Newton's Second Law of Motion states that an object's acceleration depends on its mass and the force acting on it.

​

​Basically, how fast an object speeds up depends on how big the object is AND how powerful the force is.

Multiple Choice

Objects with more mass need _______ more force to be moved than objects with less mass

• more

• less

• the same

• twice as much

Multiple Choice

If you push a small object with less mass and a big object with more mass with the same amount of force, what will happen?

• The object with more mass moves more

• The object with more mass moves less

​Newton's Third Law of Motion

​Newton's Third Law of Motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Multiple Choice

A kid pushes his hand on the wall, but he does not fall through. What is the action?

• He does not fall

• He pushes on the wall

• The wall pushes on him

Multiple Choice

A person walks through grass, but they do not sink. What is the reaction?

• They do not sink

• They push on the grass

• The ground pushes them up
