Newtons Three Laws of Motion Quiz

Which one of Newton’s Laws of Motion best explains why the dishes do not move when the table cloth is removed?

• Newton's 1st Law
• Newton's 2nd Law 
• Newton's 3rd Law 
• Newton's Law of Biology

The tendency of an object to stay in motion or at rest is called 

• velocity
• acceleration
• speed
• inertia

What is the difference between mass and weight?

• mass is how much matter is in an object, and weight is the gravitational pull on that object
• mass and weight are the same
• weight affects how much mass is in an object
• weight is determined by how many atoms make up an object
