Newton's Law of Inertia describes the motion of-

• Objects at rest only
• Objects in motion only
• Objects at rest and objects that are in motion
• Objects without a mass and resist being set into motion

Which is the best example of Newton's First Law of Motion?

• a basketball thrown in the air falls to the ground
• a soccer ball remains motionless until it is kicked by a player
• a baseball player swings at an approaching ball
• an ice skater pushes back from a wall and moves backwards

What law of motion does this picture represent?

• Newtons 1st law
• Newtons 4th law 
• Newtons 3rd law 
• Newtons 2nd law

Which example best explains Newton's Third Law of Motion?

• When a glass slid across a table, it spilled water when it stopped suddenly.
• An engine used less work to move a lighter car than when it moved a heavier car.
• When you sit on a chair, your body exerts a downward force on the surface of the chair, while the chair exerts an equal and upward force on your body.

Which of the following is an example of Newton’s 1st Law of motion?

• a chromebook sitting on a desk

• a train traveling at a constant speed

• Earth orbiting the Sun

• all of the above

What happens when two objects, such as a baseball and a bat, collide?

• They hit each other with the same force in the same direction.

• They hit each other with the same force in opposite directions.

• One remains still while the other one moves in the same direction.

• They hit each other with unequal force in opposite directions.

What is the standard unit force is measured in?

• Newtons
• pounds
• grams
• meters

According to Newton's second law, if you increase the force applied to an object :

• it accelerates more
• it doesn't move
• you get more inertia
• it decelerates
