• 1st Law of Motion

• 2nd Law of Motion

• 3rd Law of Motion

• 4th Law of Motion

• 2nd Law of Motion

• 3rd Law of Motion

• 4th Law of Motion

Which of the following statements is NOT true?

• The greater the mass of the object, the greater the force needed to move it

• The greater the force exerted on the object, the greater its acceleration will be

• The greater the acceleration, the greater the force exerted on an object

What slows a baseball down once it leaves the pitchers arm and lands in the catcher's glove?

• gravity

• friction

• velocity

• deceleration

How is a spaceship able to shut off it's jets and still travel at 17,000 mph in space?

• it has no mass

• there is no friction in space to slow it down

• the temperature causes it's speed to stay the same

• the gravitational pull of the sun causes it to speed up
