Newton's Laws of Motion

This person is staring at a cup of water. The cup does not move. This is an example of:

• Newton's first law of motion

• Newton's second law of motion

• Newton's third law of motion

• Newton's fourth law of motion

This player has applied a force to the softball with the bat, causing the ball to accelerate. This is an example of:

• Newton's first law of motion

• Newton's second law of motion

• Newton's third law of motion

• Harold's eleventh law of motion

This fake person has punched the wall. The wall exerts an equal and opposite force on the fake person's fist. This is an example of:

• Newton's first law of motion

• Newton's second law of motion

• Newton's third law of motion

• Tabitha's 23rd law of things one shouldn't do

The most common force that acts against the motion of an object is:

• psychokinesis

• the boomerang effect

• friction

• free fall

The amount of matter in an object is called:

• volume

• density

• weight

• mass

The amount of space an object occupies is called:

• mass

• weight

• volume

• matter

The tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion is called:

• stubbornness

• weight

• friction

• inertia

The greater the mass of an object:

• the greater its density

• the greater its volume

• the greater its inertia

• the less it weighs

Newton's second law of motion shows the relationship between what three things?

• force, mass, and volume

• force, mass, and acceleration

• speed, velocity, and acceleration

• walking, jogging, and sprinting

According to Newton's second law of motion, the greater the force applied to an object:

• the greater its acceleration

• the greater its mass becomes

• the smaller its volume becomes

• Who's to say? It's a mystery.
