Newton's laws

According to Newton’s first law of motion, a moving object that is not acted on by an unbalanced force will

• remain in motion.
• eventually come to a stop.
• change its momentum.
• accelerate.

What is the definition of "weight"?

• the force in which gravity pulls on an object
• the time it takes to get on a ride 
• the amount of matter in an object
• the size of an object

Which of these best describes why your weight (on Earth) would change on another planet?

• weight doesn’t change, no matter where you are
• different planets have different gravitational pulls
• In general, the smaller the planet, the greater weight
• dehydration effects on different planets change weight

What law is best described by inertia?

• 1st
• 2nd
• 3rd

F = MxA

• 1st
• 2nd
• 3rd

Object at rest stays at rest.

• 1st
• 2nd
• 3rd

If a 10 kilogram object accelerates suddenly at 15 m/s^2, how much force was applied to the object?

• 150 Newtons
• 15 Newtons
• 150 kilograms
• 100 kilograms

If an object was accelerating at 10 m/s^2, and a force of 10 newtons was required to accelerate it, what was the object's mass?

• 1 kilogram
• 10 kilograms
• 2 kilograms
• 5 kilograms

What explains why objects resist changes in their state of motion?

• gravity

• inertia

• force

• friction

What explains a quantity that has BOTH speed and direction?

• Inertia

• Force

• Speed

• Velocity
